PONANT: Smithsonian Journeys + $1,000 Shipboard Credit

For travelers who appreciate depth, discovery, and expert insight, Smithsonian Journeys with PONANT already represents one of the most enriching small-ship cruise experiences available.

Now, select 2026 Smithsonian Journeys sailings are even more appealing thanks to a $1,000 shipboard credit per stateroom or suite.

This limited-time offer allows guests to enhance their voyage with meaningful onboard extras—without increasing the cruise fare.

What the $1,000 Shipboard Credit Can Be Used For

Shipboard credit gives you flexibility once you’re onboard. Depending on how you like to travel, it can be applied toward:

• Spa treatments and wellness services
• Premium wines, spirits, and specialty dining
• Boutique purchases and onboard experiences

It’s an ideal way to personalize your journey and enjoy a few indulgences along the way.

Why Smithsonian Journeys With PONANT Stands Apart

These sailings are designed for travelers who want more than scenery. Each Smithsonian Journeys voyage includes:

• Smithsonian-curated experts onboard, offering lectures and discussions tied directly to the destinations
• Carefully selected shore excursions that emphasize culture, history, and local context
• Small-ship access to ports and regions larger ships simply can’t reach

The result is a cruise experience that feels thoughtful, immersive, and intellectually engaging—never rushed or surface-level.

We’ve personally experienced this level of enrichment, including sailing aboard PONANT’s Le Lapérouse with Smithsonian Journeys.
