YOU ARE THE DESTINATION "We believe we are going on a journey, but soon it is the journey that makes or unmakes us." Sixty years after being published in his famous The Way of the World (original title Usage du monde), these words by travel writer Nicolas Bouvier remain timeless. At PONANT EXPLORATIONS, we believe in the transformative power of travel, and it is with an unwavering passion that we make it a point of honour to offer you experiences that are sure to change you. Far from being just a collection of memories, travel is above all an inner adventure, an exploration of the invisible links between the world around you and the world inside you.

Imagine the vastness of Greenland on a dog sled, with nothing to hear but the sound of the team racing across the ice. Experiencing an exhilarating sense of freedom in the wild, rugged landscape of the Highlands. Rediscovering the flavours of childhood, whether unusual or forgotten, along the stalls of Mediterranean markets, or during a meal in a local home. Move to the sound of traditional drums, in Japan or Polynesia. From October 2025 to October 2026, join us for the pleasure of exploration in all its forms.

Whether it burns or slumbers within you, let your explorer's soul loose aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the world's only luxury icebreaker and the only cruise ship to offer you the quest for the Geographic North Pole.

As for music lovers, gourmets and art and culture enthusiasts, we've got you covered. With PONANT EXPLORATIONS, passion and travel go hand in hand. Our partners and guests, including Smithsonian Journeys, the Opéra national de Paris, the Pinault Collection and Relais & Châteaux, will, time and time again, provide you with unforgettable moments of emotion.

See you on board soon,

Hervé Gastinel CEO of PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP

10 REASONS

to sail with PONANT EXPLORATIONS

1

High-level EXPERTISE

For more than 35 years, our experts have explored the world in search of natural and cultural wonders. Each PONANT itinerary is designed to give you the opportunity to observe a wealth of wildlife or extraordinary landscapes, and to discover local cultures.

All with the support of passionate experts: your expedition team or our partners.

8

2

The art of TRAVELLING

4

A REFINED table

Each season, we design meaningful trips inspired by four themes: Planet, Culture, Lifestyle, and Geopolitics.

In order to offer you unique experiences, we rely on the expertise of our renowned partners, who are represented on board by inspiring personalities: artists, historians, curators, researchers, journalists, essayists and others.

3

A service of EXCELLENCE

On board, enjoy the comfort and sleek design of the common areas. Spas offering expert treatments in collaboration with renowned brands (Clarins, Biologique Recherche, Sothys, Algotherm), hairdressing salons, wellness areas with fitness rooms, restaurants and bars welcome you into a warm ambiance. The theatre is the place to be for film screenings, lectures and performances. All our ships are equipped with outdoor swimming pools (except Le Ponant and the Spirit of Ponant).

Every day, delightful surprises await with a refined selection of dishes created with Ducasse Conseil.

On the menu, you will find delicious breakfasts, à la carte dishes and diverse buffets, home-made pastries, bread prepared and baked on board, and a range of afternoon teas and luxury product tastings (pata negra, caviar, gravlax salmon, etc.). On board Le Commandant Charcot, the options are evolving thanks to Nuna, the only Alain Ducasse gastronomic restaurant at sea, with a menu created by the Michelin-starred chef.

A MODERN fleet

With their slender silhouette and refined decor, the Sisterships symbolise the company's desire to take the French lifestyle around the world.

122 or 132 staterooms and suites. Find out more on p. 108.

We are one of only a few cruise companies to sail under the French flag, which represents the highest level of safety. We respect strict specifications regarding crew training, health and safety protocols, and regular checks on our vessels. Designed on a more intimate scale, with just 6 to 165 staterooms, our ships are equipped with the most advanced technology for safe and responsible sailing.

The PONANT Explorers series gives you a different expedition experience. Each ship is designed to explore the more remote regions of the world and to offer the comfort of an intimate vessel.

92 staterooms and suites. Find out more on p. 112.

Combining electric propulsion and liquefied natural gas, Le Commandant Charcot, the world’s only luxury icebreaker, takes you on polar odysseys in the footsteps of the great polar explorers.

With just 32 guests on board, Le Ponant, the company's iconic three-masted vessel and the first in the world to be awarded the Relais & Châteaux label, invites you to sail with the elements.

123 staterooms and suites. Find out more on p. 116.

16 staterooms and suites. Find out more on p. 120.

With six staterooms for up to 12 guests,

a luxurious, multi-million-dollar transformation.

Designed for navigating Polynesian waters, she offers close access to lagoons and secluded bays, in a casually relaxed yet stylish atmosphere.

165 staterooms and suites. Find out more on p. 124.

Working towards more RESPONSIBLE tourism By way of our Foundation and our PONANT Blue Horizon and PONANT Science programs, we are striving to reduce our environmental footprint on terrestrial and marine environments (hybrid propulsion, recycling and waste and water treatment, elimination of single-use plastics, etc.).

With laboratories available to science teams on board Le Commandant Charcot, we contribute to

international scientific research.

Sustainable development also shapes the knowledge we share with our guests, who are the ambassadors of each region we visit.

7

CONSCIOUS travels In the Arctic and the Antarctic, we are members of IAATO and AECO: associations that bring together different stakeholders in the polar regions to promote more responsible tourism. We have also made commitments at an international level, and are proud to be part of the UN programs to ban single-use plastics.

We have earned numerous accreditations as a result of our actions, and our entire fleet has been awarded Cleanship certification by Bureau Veritas.

Check out all our actions on our website.

THE ARCTIC & NORTH AMERICA From polar extremes to wild coastlines: discover the unknown and the intimate

25

INTERVIEW

Through the eyes of

Julia Wellner

In the intimate immensity of Svalbard German photographer Julia Wellner left Geneva to embrace the unknown of Svalbard. Determined to get to grips with this unique territory on the edge of the North Pole, she trained as a guide and now shares the secrets of a world as wild as it is fascinating with PONANT EXPLORATIONS guests.

"When I arrived in Longyearbyen, I discovered a world apart.

For the first three years, I felt like I was learning something new every day. As a child, I used to go and feed the birds in the garden in winter. In Svalbard, humans must not attempt to tame the animals. If they can't find enough to live on, then they can't live there. The same goes for us. You have to be prepared for this climate, which discourages many people, and this also helps to preserve the area.

During the long months of polar night, everything slows down. But the locals go out anyway, illuminated by the glow of the moon, the stars and the Northern Lights... As a photographer, I appreciate more the soft, changing light of 26

long summer days, when the thick clouds melt into the icy, snowy landscapes, highlighting all the shades of grey, green, white and blue.

People often imagine the North Pole is a silent environment, but that's not so. When we stop talking or moving, we can hear the song of Svalbard in the tinkling of the glaciers, as the air bubbles trapped in the ice are released as it melts. As a guide, one of my missions is to encourage travellers to live the moment, by which I mean, before taking out the camera, it would be good to contemplate and take in this intimate communication with nature. These are the moments that are worth their weight in gold."

SEASONAL CURIOSITIES

The tractors of Hrísey Nicknamed 'the pearl of Eyjafjörður', the small island of Hrisey lies around 40 kilometres from Akureyri, in the north of Iceland. While it is a sanctuary for rare birds such as the rock ptarmigan and the common eider, its originality lies in the colourful tractors that dot the area: most of the 200 inhabitants travel exclusively in these agricultural vehicles.

Itinerary: Icelandic mosaic, p. 28.

Newfoundland: half Viking, half Basque On the northern tip of the island, L'Anse aux Meadows bears witness to the Viking presence in America around the year 1000.

Told in the Scandinavian sagas, the existence of a world to the west was probably known to Europeans long before Christopher Columbus took his own ship there. In 1517, Basque sailors, inspired by the Nordic adventurers, settled here to hunt whales and fish for cod in the Labrador Sea.

Greenland with PONANT EXPLORATIONS Majestic icebergs, iconic glaciers and fjords, exceptional wildlife, visits to traditional villages and encounters with the Inuit: embark on a unique exploration of Greenland.

Anatomy of a unicorn In the Arctic, the elusive narwhal stands out as an exceptional cetacean. In the male, the upper left canine extends into a twisted tusk that can measure three metres. This 'horn' has 10 million nerves endings and its sensory properties are unique in the world.

The colour of the animal varies according to its age: bluegrey at birth, it becomes black as an adult, before becoming covered in white spots, until it is immaculate white.

Itineraries: Wilderness from Greenland to the east coast of Canada, p. 32; Exploration from Greenland to Canada via Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Exploration along Saint Lawrence, p. 33.

Once upon a time on Cape Cod...

The history of the ‘Cape Cod’ begins with the epic story of the Mayflower, which landed the first pilgrims at Provincetown, welcomed by the Nauset and Wampanoag native communities. Since then, the peninsula has inspired numerous writers, from Henry David Thoreau's book of the same name, to Mary Higgins Clark's thrillers and Jan Kerouac's Baby Driver.

Itinerary: Nova Scotia and the East Coast of the United States, p. 35.

Itineraries: Expedition to the Thule region, p. 30; In the heart of the Northwest Passage, p. 32; In the ice of the Arctic, from Svalbard to Greenland, p. 39 and The Geographic North Pole and the east coast of Greenland, p. 40.

INTERVIEW

Through the eyes of

Anne-Marie Harrison

The British archipelagos through the ages Anne-Marie Harrison has maintained an intimate relationship with the English-speaking world for almost 60 years. Her role as a guide and lecturer specialising in ancient civilisations, coupled with her fascination for Great Britain – the homeland of her husband – puts her in the perfect place to lift the veil for PONANT EXPLORATIONS guests on the mysterious origins of the British archipelagos.

"The British archipelagos comprise around 6,000 islands, of which only 188 are inhabited. Each one, with its own identity, bears witness to a thousand-year-old culture, marked by prehistoric, Celtic, Viking and Anglo-Saxon civilisations.

These islands offer a variety of panoramas: the Isles of Scilly, near Cornwall, have a Mediterranean climate and splendid botanical gardens, while the Shetland Islands have very short summer nights, with just a few hours in June. This climatic and geographical diversity reflects a wealth of history and culture.

The Scottish archipelagos date back to the Neolithic period, with megaliths in the Orkney Islands older than Stonehenge.

Celtic influences are still present there, notably through local aesthetics and the use of the Gaelic language. The Vikings

48

left their mark as early as the 8th century, particularly in Shetland, where the motto is still in the Anglo-Scandinavian dialect of Norse, and where their folklore is preserved. They also introduced institutions such as the Tynwald on the Isle of Man, the oldest parliament in the British Isles. In the Hebrides, the sacred island of Iona, a spiritual centre, is a must-see. It was from here that Saint Columba, a disciple of Saint Patrick, set off to evangelise Scotland.

This complex history at the crossroads of many civilisations fascinates European guests, curious about the differences with their neighbours, as well as Anglo-Saxon guests in search of their roots. These voyages turn every stopover into a chance to discover ancestral cultures and breathtaking wilderness."

SEASONAL CURIOSITIES

The Island of Birds In the heart of the Baltic Sea, Christiansø is home to 90 inhabitants and a large population of breeding and migratory birds, who find food and tranquillity here. Thousands of herring gulls come to breed, and the island is home to Denmark's only colony of razorbills and guillemots.

Itinerary: Iconic capitals & towns of the Baltic, p. 57.

The giant and the witch Long ago, on a cold, dark night, the envious inhabitants of Iceland decided to steal the Faroe Islands. The giant and the witch sent on this mission reached the southernmost mountain of the archipelago. The witch tied a rope to it while the giant waited in the sea to drag his precious booty. But the mountain refused to budge. At the first ray of sunlight, both were petrified. Since that day, Risin and Kellingin remain, frozen, gazing melancholically at the ocean and Iceland.

Itineraries: Wild lands of Scotland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland and Scottish archipelagos and the Faroe Islands: Nordic heritage and island identities, p. 52.

Norway with PONANT EXPLORATIONS PONANT EXPLORATIONS reveals the spectacular beauty of Norway, with iconic fjords and traditional villages.

The black sands of Lanzarote The easternmost of the Canary Islands is a land of volcanoes. Shaped by the mountains of fire, its landscapes are made up of lava fields, red earth and stretches of black sand. On this astonishing terrain, the archipelago produces its own nectar thanks to vines, planted in conical cavities and protected from the sirocco winds by small semi-circular piles of stones. A geometric hillside setting of magnetic beauty.

THE MEDITERRANEAN Islands of light and mythological shores: feel the spirit and bathe in the light

63

INTERVIEW

Through the eyes of

Andromache Constantinidou

The soul of the sacred islands Andromache Constantinidou is a qualified Greek guide, cradled by legends and poems about her country passed on to her by her grandmother since childhood.

She comes on board PONANT EXPLORATIONS voyages to share these stories and her knowledge. Through her, the gods and myths of Ancient Greece are brought to life, revealing and retracing the shores and history of the West.

"The Greek islands are places touched by grace, and seemingly innumerable; they are scattered across the Aegean and Ionian seas. Inhabited for millennia, they formed the great centres of Greek thought. From the myth of Ulysses to the present day, interest in these islands and their landscapes, unchanged since the dawn of time, has never waned. They embody the true face of Greece and carry evidence of every era. They implore you to explore the heart of these virgin terrains that I sometimes like to describe as orphaned, lost between sky and sea, to those who are about to uncover them for themselves.

In Patmos, where the atmosphere is both gentle yet harsh, visitors are confronted with the powerful words of the Apocalypse, which a curious alchemy combines with sunscorched landscapes.

64

Symi, just a few miles off the coast of Asia, is a theatrical setting with polychrome houses set against a barren landscape. In the Cyclades, raised from the sea by the grace of myth and the violence of volcanoes, Paros is nicknamed the 'Marmorean'.

The volcanic island of Milos with rounded white rocks smoothed by the sea, offers fascinating lunar landscapes that carry within them the story of Aphrodite, immortalised by the Venus de Milo in the Louvre Museum.

It's no coincidence that the ancient Greeks always worshipped the light. They believed that the gods were intimately linked to these lands. Apollo, who was said to embody light, was born in the heart of the Aegean Sea, on the sacred island of Delos near Mykonos. It is now recognised by NASA as one of the most luminous places in the world. Our islands live in the light: there's no other way to describe them! "

SEASONAL CURIOSITIES

Where does mayonnaise come from?

The creation of the famous sauce has given rise to much controversy. So much so that it is hard to distinguish history from legend. The best known identifies the emulsion in Minorcan cuisine as early as the 15th century. To celebrate the conquest of Mahon, the island's capital, the Duke of Richelieu is said to have held a banquet and tasted what he called 'mahonnaise'.

Much to the displeasure of the Bayonnais who claim paternity from a 'bayonnaise', unfortunately losing the ‘b’.

The Brijuni archipelago, an open-air museum

The Mediterranean with PONANT EXPLORATIONS Mineral lands, unspoilt islands, dazzling cities, a thousand years of history... Embark on an unforgettable odyssey in the Mediterranean.

At the tip of the Istrian peninsula, off Pula, 14 islets at the water's edge tell a different story of Croatia.

They relate the stories of Marshal Tito, who made them his refuge, as well as of Romans and Byzantines, which can be seen in the remains of a temple of Venus or a fortress, and that of James Joyce and Thomas Mann, who both owned a villa here. Time seems to stand still here, surrounded by forests and scrubland, vineyards and olive groves.

Itinerary: Cities and splendours of the Adriatic, p. 75.

Itineraries p. 66 to 83.

In the footsteps of Papadiamantis In Skiathos, near the port, the old lime house of Alexandros Papadiamantis has been transformed into a museum. This small building reflects both traditional Greek architecture and the life of its former owner, considered the father of modern Greek literature. Through his collection of antique furniture, books and objects, we can better understand the writings of this unique man who continually told the story of island life, as in his landmark book, written in 1903, The Murderess.

Itineraries: European autumn in the Aegean Sea, p. 80 and The Greek islands with Nemanja Radulović and friends, p. 82.

Corsica sentinels Corsica has preserved some of its ingenious stone monuments that date from when it belonged to the Republic of Genoa. These Genoese towers were built on promontories along the coastline. Their layout and architecture meant that residents could be informed of an attack in less than two hours and cannon fire could be avoided. Of the 120 towers listed in 1730, 67 still remain today.

INTERVIEW

Through the eyes of

Kento Lafay

Nippon adventures: tropical Japan Kento Lafay, a Franco-Japanese naturalist guide who grew up in Tokyo, orients PONANT EXPLORATIONS guests as they explore Japan's subtropical islands and discover their unexplored charms. This is a new facet of Japan that is being opened up to travellers, related by a native who is fully immersed in its history, cultures and spectacular landscapes.

"A voyage to the subtropical islands is unlike anything you've ever experienced in Japan. It's a unique experience, because PONANT EXPLORATIONS takes you to them in a different way, sailing to isolated islands that are virtually inaccessible by any other means. These islands are home to many natural treasures, such as the ultra-preserved coral reefs of the Zamami nature reserve, one of my favourite stopovers in the region, in particular for its white sandy beaches. The lush jungles and mangroves of Amami-Ōshima and Iriomote are also striking. Fans of snorkelling and diving can explore the colourful seabed. At Yonaguni, it's not uncommon to swim alongside hammerhead sharks, green turtles and tropical fish similar to those found in Indonesia and Polynesia. Depending on the season, you may even be able to spot whales.

86

On board, I'm happy to share the rich history of Okinawa.

This region was formerly the kingdom of Ryūkū and was independent until the 19th century. It has developed a unique heritage, influenced by neighbouring countries.

Chinese, Thai and Japanese heritage can be found in its dances, architecture, colourful fabrics and cuisine. On the mainland, travellers can enjoy a wide range of experiences and encounters with deeply curious and welcoming locals.

Guests are invited to take part in local dances, in a happy and friendly atmosphere, to learn more about karate – born in Okinawa itself – to taste healthy regional specialities that contribute to the longevity of its inhabitants, among other things. As well as enjoying a lush environment, which has earned them the nickname 'Japanese Hawaii', these islands are a call to refocus on what's essential, to slow down and find our balance, our ikigai."

SEASONAL CURIOSITIES

Lüderitz, a hint of Bavaria in Namibia Nestled between the ocean and a desert, Lüderitz stands out for its Bavarian architecture.

The village is named after the tobacco merchant who bought this land from the Nama people in 1880. Since then, the oldest town in South West Africa has become a thriving fishing port with a unique atmosphere: its colourful colonial buildings, part Imperial German and part Art Nouveau, contrast with the arid landscape and jagged granite rocks that surround them.

Itinerary: Namibian and South African coastlines, p. 93.

Imabari, a ‘castle in the sea’

Japan with PONANT EXPLORATIONS Hop on board with PONANT EXPLORATIONS and set sail for the Land of the Rising Sun to discover a multi-faceted Japan, from ancestral traditions to majestic landscapes and futuristic cities.

The Zulu epic The ‘people of the sky’ are descended from the Bantu, who arrived in Southern Africa around 500 AD. One man would change its destiny. His name was Shaka, a fearsome warrior nicknamed the ‘Black Napoleon’, who founded the nation in 1818. Since then, the culture of South Africa's largest ethnic group has continued to be present in music, dance and ritual ceremonies, as well as at the heart of the country's politics.

Imabari Castle is a stronghold located on the shores of the Seto Inland Sea, on the island of Shikoku. Its history dates back to the great battle of Sekigahara in October 1600.

A local lord, Tōdō Takatora, received the plot as a reward and had the first keep built.

Surrounded by a moat filled with salt water, Imabari Castle was destroyed and then completely rebuilt, and is one of the archipelago's three mizujiro, or ‘castles in the sea’.

Itinerary: Authentic Japan, p. 90.

Curieuse's hundred-year-old tortoises Curieuse Island in the Seychelles lives up to its name: as you head along the footpaths, you will come across hundred-year-old tortoises wandering around the coconut palms.

This national park is dedicated to protecting these fascinating reptiles, both marine and terrestrial, including the Aldabra giant tortoise.

Also known as the ‘elephantine’, this native species is the largest in the world and can weigh in at over 300 kg.

Itinerary: The essential Seychelles, p. 92.

Explore the Spirit of Ponant

A new experience in tailor-made voyages in the Seychelles Be swept away by this unique experience in the heart of the Seychelles aboard the Spirit of Ponant, an extraordinary catamaran where comfort and exploration combine to perfection. Designed for intimate, immersive journeys, it encourages exploration of this mythical archipelago off the beaten track, in perfect harmony with nature. Every moment on board is a mix of refinement and freedom, with PONANT luxury to boot!

"True to the company's seafaring DNA and our commitment to more responsible tourism, the Spirit of Ponant combines the pleasure of sailing with the intimacy, refinement and attentive service that characterise our voyages."

Hervé Gastinel, CEO of PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP 88

Tailor-made itineraries, with the sea as our guide

Activities to enjoy the adventure at your own pace

The flexibility offered by the size of this unique catamaran and the expertise of the skipper mean each voyage is guided by the tides and tailored to your wishes.

Explore secret locations, accessible only by sea, and let the itinerary take shape according to the treasures that nature spontaneously reveals. An unspoilt cove, a wild beach or a shoal of multicoloured fish make every stopover an opportunity for magical moments that live suspended in time.

The private marina of the Spirit of Ponant offers a wide range of water-based activities, including snorkelling, paddling, wing foiling and waterskiing: the choice is yours. And for moments of peace and quiet, enjoy the sun deck, rocked gently by the waves and savour the moment with a book in your hand.

An unforgettable culinary exploration Onboard gastronomy is a celebration of local flavours.

Your chef, your true master of the house, offers you a rare opportunity to watch as each dish is expertly prepared right before your eyes. Engaging with you along the way, they share the secrets behind the exquisite ingredients used. The meal is a shared, immersive experience, where the discovery of flavours takes on a Seychelles touch.

Whether it's freshly caught fish or a new twist on a Creole speciality, every mouthful is an experience.

An intimate and exclusive setting With just six cabins, the onboard experience is warm and intimate. You'll appreciate this special space of over 300 square metres to create memories with your loved ones, away from the crowds, and in exceptional comfort where every detail has been crafted especially for you.

Breathtaking landscapes Discover gems such as Anse Source d'Argent, voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, or the spellbinding mangroves of Curieuse, a sanctuary for exceptional flora and fauna. Dive into crystal-clear waters, explore a veritable natural aquarium and marvel at the raw beauty of the Seychelles.

INTERVIEW

Through the eyes of

Delphine Poulain

The call of Polynesian Mana Former sailor Delphine Poulain set down her sailor's bag in Polynesia 30 years ago, after falling in love with its islands and its inhabitants.

A painter, expedition guide and lecturer on board m/s Paul Gauguin, she confesses her attachment to these lands at the end of the world that she has never left.

It also brings her great pleasure to help guests discover the local authenticity that highlights the unparalleled beauty of the landscapes.

"Polynesians are one of the 'water peoples'. Their relationship with the elements, with their environment, with the stars that guided them in their discoveries of the Pacific and with the changing seasons, is extraordinary. They show true respect for nature they have a form of communion with it.

I can't give you the definition of mana. I'm not Polynesian.

But my feeling, after decades of listening, respecting the traditions of oral transmission, is that the mana is a whole. It is a fusion of the material and immaterial elements that make up its archipelagos: the force of the wind, the sun, the power of the elders, knowledge, stones, trees... The mana reflects great energy. It's a notion that takes on an extremely personal meaning for each person, changing from island to island, and one that is felt in the soul and heart. If there's one thing that 96

guests tell me as soon as they arrive, it's how immediately they feel enveloped by this energy, so powerful yet so gentle.

In Polynesia, there is a natural kindness, an island gentleness that cultivates the art of welcoming and sharing. The reason I decided so quickly to move there was born out of a passion for its history, its customs, its culture and all its arts. And art has played a key role in Polynesian society since time immemorial. Aesthetic appeal can be seen everywhere, from the handmade clothes, to the stamped tapa (bark cloth), through the flowers worn casually in the hair and the shell ornaments. Travelling to these lands is a cultural adventure in its own right, and where above all you appreciate the beauty of human interaction."

SEASONAL CURIOSITIES

Stories of ‘Dreamtime’ The culture of Indigenous Australians is founded on the memory of the creation of the world in a mythical era known as the Dreamtime.

These stories, handed down orally for thousands of years, are fascinating for their spiritual and modern dimensions. The Earth, shaped by the Ancestors, must be respected, as must all forms of existence, from insects to stars, if harmony is to reign.

Itineraries: Australia's iconic Kimberley and Australia's West Coast Odyssey, p. 99.

The Kimberley Horizontal Falls

Michel Quioc, Polynesia under his skin Discover the soul of Polynesia and the supernatural force of mana that radiates aboard m/s Paul Gauguin with Michel Quioc, the ship's captain since 2022.

The Horizontal Falls are one of the most spectacular sights in the world. It is, in fact, a natural phenomenon linked to strong tidal currents. The colossal thrust of the water between the cliffs causes whirlpools and a ‘fall’ of up to four metres.

Depending on whether the tide is rising or falling, the ‘falls’, as well as being horizontal, are also ‘reversible’: they change direction.

Itinerary: Australia's iconic Kimberley, p 99.

Itineraries p.100 to 103.

I’a ota ha’ari: raw fish in coconut milk The bird of paradise, more than a symbol Papua New Guinea is a birdwatcher's Eden: its primary forest boasts more than 700 species, including the dazzling bird of paradise, the national emblem.

Although the bird has featured on the flag since 1971, its history with the country goes back much further: its colourful feathers and long, trailing tail were already used by Papuans as ornaments during their ancestral ritual ceremonies.

This is Tahiti's national dish and is eaten throughout Polynesia. The recipe is both simple and delicious: raw fish - usually red tuna - cut into cubes, a few fresh vegetables mixed with coconut milk, sprinkled with lemon juice and seasoned with grated ginger. A pure delight that can also be served with other fish such as mahi-mahi, perch or barracuda and accompanied by manioc or breadfruit.

Itineraries p. 100 to 103.

"This all-day excursion was truly multi-faceted!" she told us. "We took our places in a pirogue to begin snorkelling among the fish.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION To guarantee your entry into one or several countries, you must ensure that you comply with the formalities and health requirements specific to each destination. In just a few clicks on our online search engine, find all the formalities you must complete prior to your departure (visas, entry authorisations for each country, vaccinations, etc.): au.ponant.com/formalities The international situation can change rapidly, so be sure to check this information regularly prior to your departure. However, please note that we always recommend our guests contact the relevant national immigration and customs and border control authorities directly to find out what rules apply to their specific situation. PONANT is not responsible for any decisions made by guests based on the information provided by the online search engine.

Visas: before departure, you are advised to check that your visa’s validity period matches the duration and dates of the stay requested, or you may

encounter some unpleasant consequences if there is any non-compliance with the authorised duration of stay.

We invite you to read our boarding conditions and passenger travel abilities: https://l.ponant.com/ErQG. Any new reservation implies the acceptance of these conditions.

List of items prohibited on board: find the full list here: https://l.ponant.com/ CGV_EN. Should you have one of these products or objects in your possession, they will be confiscated immediately and will not be transported on the ship.

When an item transported aboard is considered illegal, the relevant authorities will be notified systematically.

Health: if you are undergoing medical treatment, do not forget your prescription. You are advised to contact a healthcare professional well in advance of your departure for any medical advice about your trip.

POLAR EXPEDITION VOYAGE Complimentary polar parka: for all voyages marked with the logo ‘Parka Gift’, a PONANT polar water-resistant parka is offered (adult sizes only; in case of consecutive voyages, only one parka per person).

Complimentary boots hire: boot rental will be offered onboard (for adults only) on expedition voyages where the logo ‘Boots on loan’ appears.

Stopovers, visited sites, outings and landings will depend on weather conditions, position of ice, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Expedition Leader may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary. The final itinerary will be confirmed by the Captain, who will take into account the touristic quality of the sites and above all, the safety of the passengers. Their

decision will be based on advice from experts and authorities.

Travelling to polar/isolated regions is an exhilarating experience in remote areas: please remember that you are far from modern hospitals with full medical facilities, thus evacuation is extremely expensive. Without adequate medical coverage, all expenses will have to be immediately paid with your personal funds. We urge you to subscribe to full coverage insurance, choose your insurance company very carefully, be extremely vigilant and ensure your insurance is fully comprehensive, especially if you are insured by your credit card. PONANT offers an insurance contract with extensive guarantees, please contact us for more information.
