THE INTERNATIONAL CRUISE COUNCIL OF
Australasia has welcomed its 26th cruise line
member, luxury cruise operator Compagnie
du Ponant.
The move follows Ponant’s recent decision
to increase its capacity, with the cruise line
confirming that it now views Australia as an
“exciting source market”.
Represented in Australia by Travel the
World, Ponant has said that it expects strong
interest from Aussie cruisers for its 2012
Antarctica season (with voyages offered on
two of its five fleet vessels, Le Boreal and
L’Austral).
“We are looking forward to working
through ICCA’s training program to raise
awareness of Ponant’s great product and
itineraries amongst Australian travel agents
as local demand for luxury cruising continues
to grow,” said Travel the World managing
director, Andrew Millmore.
In keeping with its increasing Australian
focus, the cruise line is offering a selection of
local 2012 voyages.
Ponant has also confirmed that it is
currently looking at possible future
homeporting options in Australian waters.
