As Demand for Bucket-List Travel Continues to Rise, Polar Expeditions are Fast Becoming One of the Most Sought-After Experiences Among High-Value Travellers
As the allure of extraordinary travel experiences intensifies, polar expeditions are emerging at the forefront of bucket-list journeys for discerning travellers. Recognizing this momentum, PONANT EXPLORATIONS offers a unique opportunity for travel advisors to engage clients with early-booking savings of up to 30% on select Arctic and Antarctic voyages scheduled for 2026 and 2027*.
PONANT EXPLORATIONS is celebrated for blending cutting-edge expedition technology with refined French hospitality, creating immersive experiences that extend beyond mere sightseeing. Their small, purpose-built fleet is designed for polar navigation, allowing guests to explore some of the planet’s most remote and pristine environments in style and comfort.
Designed for Deeper Exploration
With ships accommodating a maximum of 264 guests, PONANT EXPLORATIONS delivers a uniquely tailored journey for those in search of depth, discovery, and exclusivity. The intimate scale of the vessels allows for itineraries to touch upon regions that are typically only accessible to scientists and explorers. This creates a personal onboard atmosphere, fostered by expert expedition teams.
At the core of the PONANT experience is unparalleled access. Guests venture closer to wildlife, explore remote coastlines via Zodiac, and engage with naturalists, scientists, and specialist guides who breathe life into each destination with expert-led excursions and enriching programs.
PONANT’s all-inclusive offering enhances value—daily shore excursions, Zodiac outings, unlimited Wi-Fi, all onboard dining, 24-hour room service, and an open bar featuring Champagne (excluding premium menu items) are all included in the fare*. This simplifies the sales conversation for advisors and reinforces PONANT’s premium positioning.
Two Poles, Two Powerful Stories
While both polar regions offer awe-inspiring beauty, they provide distinct experiences that cater to various traveller preferences. The Arctic is a tapestry of dramatic natural landscapes interwoven with rich cultural encounters. Voyages through Greenland, Canada, and Svalbard uncover sculpted fjords, ancient glaciers, and diverse wildlife, coupled with meaningful interactions with Inuit communities whose traditions span centuries. Noteworthy itineraries include the Expedition to the Edge of the Ice Sheet and the Exploration from Greenland to Canada (Reykjavík to Toronto).
Antarctica captivates with its grandeur, silence, and raw elemental power. Guests can kayak among icebergs, hike across untouched snowfields, take the iconic polar plunge (on select departures and conditions permitting), or explore by Zodiac alongside majestic penguins, seals, and migrating whales. Signature voyages like Emblematic Antarctica and The Great Austral Loop reveal the continent’s most iconic landscapes, while Expedition to New Zealand’s Sub-Antarctic Islands provides an accessible option for ANZ travellers, with departures from Dunedin.
A Captivating Opportunity for Advisors
With early-booking savings accessible for a limited time, this campaign incentivizes travel advisors to engage clients now, particularly those in search of exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that exude luxury. The combination of immersive exploration, elevated comfort, and meaningful inclusions firmly positions PONANT EXPLORATIONS as a premier choice in the polar expedition landscape.
