PONANT is thrilled to unveil its 2025 Europe Collection, featuring expertly designed small-ship luxury voyages to both iconic destinations and hidden gems across the continent. This collection promises unique and enriching experiences, with special offers tailored for Australian and New Zealand travellers planning a European escape in 2025.

Discover Europe in Style

From the Mediterranean to the Scottish Isles, PONANT’s 2025 Europe Collection offers a vast array of small-ship explorations aboard state-of-the-art vessels, all in the line’s signature relaxed luxury.

“It truly is a ‘collection’ as we want to remind travellers of the vast range of products we can offer in Europe,” says Deb Corbett, PONANT CEO Asia Pacific. “Europe has become one of our most popular destinations as guests find true benefits in experiencing the continent on a small, slow-paced yacht-style experience with us whilst accessing Europe’s most iconic but also seldom visited ports. A significant difference when trying to stay away from the masses.”

Highlights of the 2025 Europe Collection

• Island Hopping in Greece
• Navigating Spectacular Fjords in Norway
• Exploring the Shetland Islands
• Docking in Bordeaux, the World’s Wine Capital
• Sailing between Stockholm and Oslo with the Paris Opera Ballet’s Artistic Troupe

All itineraries have been meticulously crafted by PONANT’s team of experts, offering the privilege of true yacht-style exploration at a leisurely pace. With capacities ranging from 184 to 264 passengers, PONANT’s small, human-scale vessels can navigate directly into the heart of a destination, whether docking in historic ports or accessing hidden coves and bays that larger ships cannot reach. Featuring two fine-dining restaurants, a spa and wellness centre, 24-hour room service, complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi, and included daily excursions, PONANT’s European itineraries seamlessly blend onboard luxury with rich cultural immersion and discovery.

“These unique, intimate and human-sized voyages reflect our commitment to redefining luxury travel by uncovering destinations that are often overlooked as well as delivering authentic experiences to the iconic bucket list destinations. With our small-ship fleet, we can offer truly rare, off-the-beaten-path explorations that align perfectly with the adventurous spirit of our guests, without compromising on luxury,” adds Deb Corbett.
