Ponant has unveiled its 2025 sailings in collaboration with Smithsonian Journeys. This marks the fourth year of co-branded sailings, and comprises 30 itineraries—the most ever offered in one year, due to growing interest and demand.
Several new itineraries include a two-week voyage from Lisbon to the Canary Islands and a Mediterranean sailing visiting Sicily, Sardinia and Mallorca, while a newly enhanced itinerary offers a circumnavigation of Sicily with a new stop in Tunisia for the archeological site of Carthage.
Ponant and Smithsonian Journeys will also bring back favorites from 2024, including a seven-night itinerary from Panama to Costa Rica, with an exclusive visit to the open-air Punta Culebra Nature Center of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute; an eight-day exploration of the Greek Islands in the Southern Aegean, with ports of call at a different island each day; and a Mediterranean Island voyage spanning Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Elba.
