Winter Offer Takes 10% off Ponant Explorations & Paul Gauguin Cruises

PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP has launched a Winter Offer featuring 10% off its all-inclusive luxury voyages on both Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT EXPLORATIONS.

Available now through January 5, 2026, the Winter Offer applies to select departures in 2025, 2026, and 2027 spanning from French Polynesia to Central America, Antarctica to the Mediterranean, and beyond. 

In addition to the savings—marking an early start to Cyber Week and Travel Tuesday, PONANT EXPLORATIONS is ‘gifting’ up to $1,000 in shipboard credit on select Iceland bookings. Travel advisors will receive up to $500 for every newly deposited booking they secure.

Those looking to explore the landscapes and rich cultural traditions of French Polynesia can take advantage of this exclusive offer on all 2026 sailings, as well as select 2025 departures, with Paul Gauguin Cruises. The Gauguin’s seven-to-14-night itineraries across the Society Islands, Tuamotus, Marquesas, and Cook Islands cultivate deep connections to the destination, while guests can savour the ship’s relaxed elegance, intimate service, and authentic cultural immersion.

With PONANT EXPLORATIONS, travellers can choose from more than 150 high-end, intimate voyages included in the Winter Offer, taking guests as close as possible to majestic nature and ancestral culture. 

Highlights of the applicable itineraries include two Antarctica departures and myriad 2026 voyages in alliance with Smithsonian Journeys—a first for PONANT EXPLORATIONS’ Winter Offer—that feature engaging lectures and discussions with world-class experts in culture, history, the natural world, and more. 

Additionally, travellers can apply the limited-time savings to select sailings aboard Le Jacques Cartier during its maiden season in French Polynesia. Leveraging m/s Paul Gauguin’s regional expertise, the ship will offer a more remote, expeditionary-style experience with rare calls to the Austral and Gambier Islands—making PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP the only cruise company to visit all five French Polynesian archipelagos.

Select PONANT EXPLORATIONS voyages to the Land of Fire and Ice also enjoy the Iceland Holiday Gift of $1,000 shipboard credit per stateroom or suite on a wide range of 2026 departures. The promotion is combinable with the Winter Offer and valid only on new bookings made between now and January 5, 2026. PONANT EXPLORATIONS fares include all gourmet meals, one shore excursion in each port of call, unlimited Wi-Fi, and more.
