Review of the most eye-catching itineraries
Corsica and Brittany: two 100% French routes
After these itineraries to discover Corsica and Brittany proved such a success in 2020, PONANT is continuing them for 2022.
Around France’s Île de Beauté, the company’s favourite spots include Saint-Florent, the Gulf of Santa-Manza, Cape Roccapina, Pointe de la Parata and Calvi.
On the Celtic side, the route pays homage to Brittany’s majestic lighthouses set against backdrops of Nature at her magnificent best, from Bréhat island via Ouessant to Pointe des Poulains in the north of Belle-Île-en-mer.

The Mediterranean as seen from the sea
What better way to discover or rediscover the Mediterranean than by sea, from Italian shores to Dubrovnik ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ or the Cyclades! More than 50 sailings combine the inimitable dolce vita of the Italian Riviera, treasures of Antiquity in the eastern Mediterranean and all the charms of the Adriatic.

Polar expedition cruise in the heart of the Svalbard
We don warm clothing to explore the Far North in this eight-day circumnavigation cruise.
Set sail for the awe-inspiring Kongsfjorden glaciers, then the Nordvest-Spitsbergen National Park, in the wake of former whalers once settled on sites now home to the graves of so many sailors and visited by a wide range of cetacean species. We then head west to try and reach the shores of the north-eastern Svalbard nature reserve and Strait of Hinlopen, a polar desert of basaltic islets, majestic glaciers and a rich marine ecosystem.
During our daily Zodiac® outings, accompanied by experienced naturalist-guides, you may be lucky to spot the King of the Arctic, the polar bear!
