A range of co-branded luxury cruises will be offered through a new collaboration between Ponant and National Geographic Expeditions.
Expedition itineraries will target customers in the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia Pacific and Africa.
A total of 130 itineraries have been created for the next four years, with prices starting at £2 700 (R51 000) per person.
Core destinations will be the Antarctic and Arctic, which will be complemented by a range of global expeditions covering all continents.
National Geographic Expeditions will provide a range of expedition resources on board, including leading experts and photographers to travel with passengers. To enhance the travellers’ experience, Ponant has also included a new multi-sensory underwater lounge called Blue Eye.
The partnership comes as the French cruise company will almost double its fleet, from seven to 12 ships by 2021.
