The Quintessential Collection by PONANT At PONANT we believe that travel is by its very nature a form of learning and transformation. With this belief as our guiding principle, we developed the Quintessential Collection. This anthology is designed for those who share our approach to travel and who wish to engage with the world in order to better understand it. Each cruise is based on a theme, such as gardening, classical music, art, or world affairs, and includes a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay with bespoke excursions tied to that theme. The cruises feature engaging talks and performances by world renowned experts or musicians aboard ship. During the voyage, guests also enjoy one or two exceptional activities ashore that are relevant to the cruise theme—and that encourage an authentic embrace of local cultures and attitudes. â–º inspire me
