PONANT Unveils Expansive Winter 2026-2027 Caribbean Program
PONANT EXPLORATIONS has announced its most extensive Caribbean and Central America deployment to date for the winter 2026-2027 season, offering 48 sailings across 11 unique itineraries between November 2026 and April 2027. The collection includes 34 Caribbean voyages and 14 sailings through Central America, all operated aboard four of the line’s luxury small ships: Le Bellot, Le Bougainville, Le Lapérouse, and the iconic three-masted sailing yacht Le Ponant.
“This deployment represents our most comprehensive Central America and Caribbean season to date, offering travelers the perfect balance of exploration, education and refined relaxation all delivered with our signature French flair,” said Samuel Chamberlain, CEO of PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP in the Americas.
As part of the program, guests will be able to explore a broad range of destinations, from the lush landscapes of Costa Rica and Panama to the vibrant cultures of Colombia, the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, and more. The line’s small-ship fleet allows access to off-the-beaten-path locations, providing a more intimate and immersive experience in each port of call.
PONANT will also continue its enriching partnership with Smithsonian Journeys, offering select voyages featuring two onboard experts who will enhance each itinerary with educational insights and cultural context. This collaboration reflects the company’s dedication to combining luxury travel with meaningful experiences.
“Our small ships can access remote, pristine destinations, allowing our guests to discover the authentic essence of these close-to-home regions while enjoying the joie de vivre for which our ships are known,” Chamberlain added. “Moreover, our commitment to sustainable cruising ensures we explore these fragile ecosystems responsibly, leaving minimal impact on the spectacular environments we visit.”
The winter 2026-2027 program reflects PONANT’s ongoing investment in curated, eco-conscious travel experiences that blend luxury, learning, and discovery in some of the Western Hemisphere’s most captivating coastal regions.
