Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Erica from PONANT for this week's cruise chat.
.
PONANT has two styles of cruising: Expedition & Yachting.
With Expedition Cruising, you will sail to remote destinations, enjoy spontaneous wildlife sightings, and experience cultural visits
Your Zodiac Landings & explorations are included. Your Naturalist Guides on board will ensure you have a wonderful experience.
On Polar expeditions, you will be gifted a parka to use onboard and keep, and the boots are available to borrow.
On Yachting cruises, you will experience Boutique itineraries with direct City center access, all complements of a smaller ship! You will enjoy a variety of shore excursions that are available to purchase. Couple that with the local expertise, and you have one amazing cruise!
