Ponant has promised agents access to ‘exclusive’ ports if they book one of its sailings, after partnering with a luxury expedition company earlier this year.
The French cruise line acquired a majority stake in Aqua Expeditions in January 2025, marking a key milestone in its journey towards cracking the UK market. It says that the small ship company, which specialises in river and expedition cruises, will enhance its ability to reach more remote destinations – a cornerstone of Ponant’s USP.
