Looks very cheap, especially for the size of vessel. Will get my TA to check it out. :)

This is the one I was looking at - it includes flights from/to Paris. Edit - I see the Albatross incl flights from/to CPH.

Why Paris apart from Ponant being a French Compagnie

Ponant appears to cater to the higher end of the market. Apart from the lack of the SingleS, is the value commensurate with the price?.

Do you have an insight into how full the Ponant cruises have been so far

I went to a Ponant info session last year and they said the cheapest price is the early price and they don't discount later on but it seems from your experience they do

Sorry, I generalised. Ponant have quite a structured 'discount' ladder - they start out at a 30% discount (they call it a 'Ponant bonus') to start with and it decreases over time. I was saying generally that cruise lines generally sell unused inventory cheaper near sailing; I've been watching Poseidon do that recently.

They also withdraw no SS offers without notice, as I experienced last week :(

Was the pricing per the website?

Sounds like makings of an AFF Greenland conference. Now how to make it work related...🤔

It certainly was. Folks contacted them the same way we did, payment in GBP though (which is fine).

Only fly in my ointment is that I've just 😡finished booking an award trip to Europe in October next year, on QR. That will be my 4th trip overseas. A fifth might be stretching things :rolleyes:, so the award trip might have to go. Fortunately via Alaska and Velocity, so pretty cheap to cancel.

Waiting for the TA to get back to me.

Oh! Opportunity for back-to-back and to do Greenland properly.
