Open Bar

From the moment you board the ship and throughout your cruise, drinks will be complimentary and unlimited*. Choose from a selection of wines, champagnes, spirits, mineral waters and non-alcoholic drinks.

There will be no receipts to sign and no constraints: the Open Bar will also apply to your minibar and even to room service drinks.
So why not take advantage of this to enjoy a friendly pre-dinner drink on the deck at sunset, or a hot chocolate in the comfort of one of Ponant's lounges?

*It doesn't include premium alcoholic drinks indicated in the Bar Menu. It is valid only for individual personal consumption, without limitations.


 

THE FLEET

Fluid lines, a streamlined bow: the exterior of Ponant's ships reflect the spirit of a subtle nautical theme.
