In Polynesia, flowers accompany every moment of life. Welcome garlands, ceremonial crowns and everyday adornments: hibiscus, tiare and frangipani form an ancestral language deeply rooted in the traditions of the islands.

In the hands of local artisans, each piece takes shape according to precise codes, where the position of a flower can reveal a status, an intention or a story.

With PONANT EXPLORATIONS, immerse yourself in a culture where every petal holds meaning.

What if your Antarctic experience could be enjoyed from an unexpected vantage point?
Like our guest Sophie, admire the surrounding icy expanses from the panoramic swimming pool aboard the world’s only luxury icebreaker, Le Commandant Charcot.

Between the polar chill and the enveloping warmth of the water, this strikingly contrasting experience offers another way to discover the white continent. A suspended, face-to-face encounter, where the silence of the ice responds to the whisper of steam.

Like our guest Hello Emilie , set your course for the Southern Ocean and discover New Zealand's subantarctic islands.

Here, the weather shifts from hour to hour, the sea asserts its formidable power, and the landscapes remain utterly untamed. On a map, these islands appear as mere dots scattered across the ocean. In reality, they reveal vast and spectacular territories, sculpted by the elements.
Embark on a journey from Dunedin New Zealand, to these subantarctic lands where nature reigns supreme.

The marae, guardians of tradition.

Scattered across French Polynesia, the marae are more than ancient temples, they are living memories of a people, a culture, and a world that still breathes through every carefully placed stone.
