Ponant is rebranding to Ponant Explorations Group following its recent acquisition of a majority stake in Aqua Expeditions.
The group now includes three commercial brands: Ponant Explorations, Paul Gaugin Cruises and Aqua Expeditions.
Ponant CEO Hervé Gastinel says the rebrand “reinforces its ambition to accelerate its development while strengthening its position in a dynamic and evolving market”.
“We remain true to our core identity: delivering an unparalleled travel experience to iconic destinations, providing exclusive access to confidential locations with our human-scale ships, and maintaining a commitment to excellence in service.”
Ponant Explorations Group CEO Asia Pacific Deb Corbett says, “The Asia Pacific team is excited and proud to be part of this phase of strong expansion”.
“We all look forward to implementing our diverse and dynamic go-to-market action plans to support the vision and growth of this portfolio.”
Ponant Explorations is focused on expedition cruising; Paul Gaugin explores Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacific, while Aqua Expeditions specialises in luxury small-ship expeditions to the world’s most biodiverse and culturally significant regions.
