Luxury French cruise line
Compagnie du Ponant now
has a working Sydney office,
contactable on 1300 737 178 and
reservations.aus@ponant.com.
The new presence will lead the
line’s expansion in Australia and
New Zealand, led by chairwoman
Sarina Bratton, vice-president
Monique Ponfoort and director of
sales Australia Steve McLaughlin.
Three brand new brochures
featuring the line’s sailing range
across three luxury yachts and
one traditional three-masted ship
have been released to the market,
priced in Australian dollars.
Alaska has been confirmed as a
brand new destination for the line
in the 2016 season, with ships to
offer expeditions across the globe.
Speaking to media last week,
Bratton said the goal was to reach
& maintain fleetwide occupancy
levels of a consistent 90%, even
after the launch of its fourth ship
– Le Lyrial – in Apr next year.
