As well as their fantastic Polar Collection, Ponant offers itineraries through Asia, Oceania, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and the Baltics.  Highlights include Easter Island off the Chilean coast, the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, remote villages of the Malay Archipelago and Saint-Malo (France) and Lubeck (Germany) in Northern Europe.
