    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    We moved our Ponant august cruise to a Ross sea Antarctica cruise in January leaving from Dunedin. Ponant advised us when they cancelled they are cancelling cruises 2 months out. Final payment is not due to 30 days out so at least they don’t have the majority of our money for the next 6 months...

    I was just reading a live blog of someone on a Viking cruise around Iceland, all vaccinated, they were on a bus tour and they were stopped by the police and ordered to return to ship, someone has tested positive, is now in quarantine, but they are unsure now what will happen.

    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    Royal Caribbean are now selling non vaccinated cruises from Florida and Texas, the recommendation is that you are vaccinated but you are not required to be (obviously because they can’t ask for proof). I can’t imagine booking a on one of those. Imagine an outbreak 😷 but I suppose all the non...

    Anyone been on Ponant's Le Laperouse, or a sister vessel?

    I've been on Le Boreal to Antarctica, we had a balcony cabin on Deck 3 (balcony in the hull), we were very happy with the whole cruise. I wouldn't say there is a bad area as such, there are a few ocean view cabins at the front of deck 3, but they were being used for staff, so everyone on board...

    When I originally posted this query, the offer was not there, and my friend was given two different refunds, for each flight. Ive since cancelled my flight under the new ‘no cancellation fee’ conditions, so will just wait for the 4 months for the points and taxes to be refunded...

    Thanks everyone, I was happy to see the email form Singapore today in regards to no charges for cancelled redemption flights. At least I can go ahead, knowing I won’t be up for the cancellation fee. I’ll get my friend to call to see if she can request the points to be refunded rather than a...

    Ponant Antarctica Beyond the Polar Circle

    I’m not sure I agree with emem, we’ve done Ponant to Antarctica and were very happy with everything. There was no Paris style evening entertainment, rather a singer/band in the bar area. The daily lectures were led by excellent expedition experts and were informative. We had 199 on board so...
