PONANT offers an appealing alternative to traditional large-ship cruising, particularly for independent travellers who enjoy exploring new destinations without travelling as part of a large group.
Its smaller ships, organised excursions and destination-focused itineraries create opportunities to meet fellow guests while maintaining the freedom to enjoy your holiday independently.
Luxury Small-Ship Cruising
PONANT's intimate ships offer a more personal atmosphere than many larger ocean cruise vessels.
Guests can enjoy elegant accommodation, attentive service, restaurants, lounges and shared spaces without the scale and crowds associated with some large cruise ships.
Shared Experiences Without Group Travel
Travelling solo doesn't mean spending the entire cruise alone.
Shore excursions, expedition activities, presentations and onboard events provide natural opportunities to meet fellow travellers.
You can participate as much or as little as you prefer.
Extraordinary Destinations
PONANT specialises in itineraries that combine luxury with discovery.
For independent travellers, this means the opportunity to explore remote coastlines, polar regions, tropical islands and culturally fascinating destinations with experienced guides and organised activities.
Reduced Single Supplements
One of PONANT's biggest attractions for solo travellers is the availability of selected departures with reduced or waived single supplements.
These offers can make luxury expedition cruising considerably more accessible, particularly when compared with the cost of occupying a standard cabin alone.
Availability and conditions vary by voyage.
Cruise fares are commonly advertised on a twin-share basis, meaning the price assumes two guests sharing a cabin.
When one person occupies that cabin, an additional single supplement may apply.
PONANT periodically offers promotions that reduce or remove this supplement on selected voyages.
No Single Supplement PONANT Cruises
A waived single supplement means an eligible solo traveller can book a qualifying cabin without the usual additional single-occupancy charge.
However, it does not necessarily mean that every cabin, suite or departure is included.
Reduced Single Supplement Offers
Some departures may feature a reduced supplement rather than a complete waiver.
These offers can still represent good value, especially on longer voyages or cruises to remote destinations.
What Should Solo Travellers Check?
Before selecting a PONANT solo cruise, consider the final single-occupancy fare, eligible accommodation categories, promotional conditions and included services.
Also check whether the offer can be combined with any other applicable benefits.
Our advice: Compare the complete cruise package rather than focusing solely on the advertised supplement reduction.
Antarctica & Polar Expeditions
Explore remarkable polar landscapes, wildlife and remote destinations on selected expedition voyages.
The Kimberley
Discover the dramatic coastline, waterfalls, ancient landscapes and cultural heritage of northern Western Australia.
Mediterranean
Experience historic cities, island destinations and coastal cultures aboard an intimate luxury ship.
South Pacific
Enjoy tropical islands, lagoons and cultural experiences on selected voyages through the Pacific.
Each destination offers a different style of cruising. Choosing the right itinerary is just as important as finding the right fare. But as with all solo cruise options, you need to move fast as they do sell out really fast. You need to book at least a year in advance.
The best PONANT solo cruise isn't necessarily the one offering the largest advertised discount.
Consider the itinerary, travel dates, cabin category and total holiday cost before deciding which promotion represents the best value.
A longer expedition voyage with more inclusions may offer better overall value than a shorter cruise with a lower initial fare.
❖ BlueSun Insight: Choose the Voyage, Not Just the Discount
A waived single supplement is attractive, but it shouldn't be the only reason you book a PONANT cruise.
PONANT offers some extraordinary itineraries, particularly in remote destinations where the voyage itself is the main attraction.
A discounted departure to a destination that only partly interests you may be less rewarding than paying a little more for the itinerary you really want.
Our recommendation is to choose your destination and preferred experience first, then look for the best available solo fare.
If you have flexibility with travel dates, we can help you compare alternative departures and identify opportunities where reduced single supplements make a meaningful difference to the total cost.
BlueSun Cruises is part of BlueSun Travel, an Australian-owned travel company with decades of experience in cruise and holiday planning.
Our cruise specialists understand that solo travellers have different priorities, particularly when comparing accommodation, supplements and expedition itineraries.
We can help you select suitable PONANT voyages, understand available promotions and coordinate flights, accommodation and other travel arrangements. Call us any time on:
