Travellers can secure more than 350 small ship departures with a 10% initial deposit under a new booking offer running through January 31, 2027.

The reduced deposit, down from the usual 25%, applies to selected PONANT EXPLORATIONS sailings operating across late 2026 and the 2027, 2028 and 2029 seasons, as well as eligible voyages with sister company Paul Gauguin Cruises.

Destinations covered by the offer include The Kimberley, Mediterranean, French Polynesia and the polar regions, giving travellers the option to confirm a future voyage with a smaller upfront payment.

A further deposit equal to 15% of the booking value will be due 212 days before departure, with standard final payment, booking and cancellation conditions continuing to apply.

The reduced deposit can also be combined with selected promotional offers, subject to availability.
