PONANT has announced an exclusive partnership with STIC Travel Group to strengthen its presence in India.
The partnership will see STIC Travel Group connect Indian travel professionals and high-end travellers with the luxury cruise line’s unique portfolio of luxury expeditions.
PONANT says the collaboration “strengthens its foothold in the Indian market, offering expanded support for both trade partners and travellers”.
PONANT Director of Sales, Asia Pacific Julie Rogers says, “We are delighted to join forces with STIC Travel Group, a company that shares our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences”.
“India represents an exciting and growing market for luxury expedition travel, and with STIC nationwide network and expertise, we are confident in expanding our footprint in the region.”
As part of the partnership, STIC has established a dedicated team to handle reservations, provide expert support, and deliver personalised services for Indian travellers ready to embark on a luxury voyage.
The cruise line also recently announced it has rebranded, a move that comes following its acquisition of a majority stake in Aqua Expeditions.
The group now includes three commercial brands: Ponant Explorations, Paul Gaugin Cruises and Aqua Expeditions.
CEO Hervé Gastinel says the rebrand “reinforces its ambition to accelerate its development while strengthening its position in a dynamic and evolving market”.
