  • PONANT Returns to Sea Today with an Ultra-Reinforced Health Protocol
    PONANT returns to sea today with an ultra-reinforced health protocol Saturday 11 July 2020 - Today, PONANT is one of the first cruise lines in the world to resume its operations. The reference in Ocean Voyages aboard small cruising yachts has developed a rigorous health protocol to guarantee a safe sailing experience. Eight of the ships in the fleet are setting sail from France, Iceland or French Polynesia. Others should follow in the coming weeks. France is beautiful from the sea, a unique collection of summer 2020 cruises To adapt to the current situation and the new demand, the company has reinvented its offering with 5 new exceptional itineraries along the French coast, well off the beaten track. As an ambassador of the French way of life, PONANT is inviting its guests to rediscover the richness and diversity of France this summer. With a fleet of smaller-sized ships accommodating an average of 150 guests, the company remains true to its core principle of responsible and sustainable tourism. PONANT is drawing on the expertise of its captains, all natives of France and its regions, and relying on the precious assistance of its partners, keepers of the natural, cultural, and gastronomic heritage of the different regions. The company will reveal France differently, from the sea, through a series of new sailing routes and tailored activities in unspoiled nature (outings in Zodiac dinghies or canoes, diving and snorkelling, kayakink, paddle-boarding, hiking, and more). Each experience will be enriched by PONANT’s expert naturalists, who will provide explanations during the outings and share their knowledge during lectures held beforehand.

  • Cruise Ship Locations 16 May 2021
    CRUISE SHIP LOCATIONS 16 MAY 2021 Compiled by Mike Pryce, Wellington NZ (Information believed correct at this date. Compiled from various sources and internet AIS, especially www.cruisemapper.com. Excludes ferries and cruise ferries. Many cruise ships have been in “warm” lay-up, when they have periodically moved from their berths or anchorages and gone for short voyages locally to give their engines and equipment “a run”, and including production of freshwater, before returning to lay-up. Ships at anchor periodically need to berth to take onboard fuel, food, provisions and other supplies. Some inter-ship crew transfers at sea are being made, outside port limits. With the resumption of “normal” cruising looking very uncertain in many countries in the near future, more cruise ships are likely to move to “cold” lay-up until the situation becomes clearer, whilst others go into shipyards for overhauls and surveys. Many cruise ships have been in lay-up for over a year, as the initial “pause” has been continually extended due to more Covid-19 outbreaks, and many financial assumptions made on the expectation of an initial two-months lockdown have needed reviewing. This has resulted in many recent sales of older ships, and limited cruising in the Mediterranean and Europe, where these areas are being affected by sporadic outbreaks in Covid-19 infections. The largest concentration of laid-up cruise ships is on the Bahamas Banks (east of Miami and south of Freeport) A large number of cruise ships are anchored off the south coast of England, west of Southampton. Another large group are anchored in the South China Sea, NE of Singapore.

  • Fincantieri and Ponant Sign an Moa for the Construction of 2 New- Generation Cruise Ships
    FINCANTIERI AND PONANT SIGN AN MOA FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 2 NEW- GENERATION CRUISE SHIPS Trieste, November 20, 2019 – Fincantieri has signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA), worth about 300 million euro, for the construction and design of 2 new-generation luxury expedition cruise vessels for the French cruise company PONANT, a subsidiary of Artemis Group (holding company of the Pinault family). The MoA also envisages an option for one further sistership. The finalization of the contract is subject to the fulfilment of technical and financial conditions. In the past, Fincantieri has already built for PONANT 4 ships in Ancona, “Le Boréal”, “L’Austral”, “Le Soléal”, and “Le Lyrial”, delivered respectively in 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2015. VARD, Fincantieri’s Norwegian subsidiary, active in the design and shipbuilding of expedition cruise vessels, has built in 2018 and 2019 four units of the “PONANT EXPLORERS” class and will deliver the last two of the series in 2020. VARD will also deliver “Le Commandant Charcot”, the first hybrid electric polar exploration vessel powered with LNG, to PONANT in 2021. The new units, due for delivery both in 2022, will represent an evolution of the “PONANT EXPLORERS” class vessels. They will be operated in the South Pacific areas for “PAUL GAUGUIN CRUISES” brand as well as the eponymous ship acquired recently by PONANT, thus bringing the number of ships under this brand to 3.
