Ponant to offer a brand new cruise to discover California, in partnership with the famous Christie’s auction house
After the success of their first collaboration in the Adriatic in 2017, PONANT and Christie’s are joining forces once again in order to create an exceptional cruise experience along the west coast of North America.
In collaboration with the famous Christie’s auction house, PONANT has devised a brand-new programme placed under the sign of the arts. From a private visit to the Christie’s auction house, an unmissable cultural destination in Beverly Hills, to a private cocktail reception organised at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the SFMOMA, passengers will alternate between privileged artistic moments and the natural marvels of the US west coast.
Exceptional guest speakers

Stephen Lash – Chairman Emeritus, Americas – François de Poortere – Head of Old Master Paintings, New York – Jennifer Wright – Vice President and Client Relationship Director, New York – and Scott Torrence – Vice President and Senior Wine Specialist, Los Angeles – will give a number of cultural and artistic lectures during the cruise.
