Your travel book is evolving!
To pursue our commitment to more sustainable tourism, we are lightening the environmental impact of the travel books sent before each trip with PONANT: we will no longer be printing and mailing these out.
This change will only apply to travel books for departures on board the PONANT Explorers and PONANT Sisterships.
In concrete terms, what does this mean?
- Your travel book will be 100% digital
- We have stopped printing and producing both the travel books, and the pouches that accompanied them
- If you prefer to have a tangible paper version, our digital format has been designed for easy printing*
When will you receive your booklet?
It will be sent to you by email approximately one month prior to departure.
This email will contain:
- The PDF file of your travel book as an attachment
- The formalities you need to know about your trip and destination(s)
We recommend saving this PDF on your mobile phone or tablet so that it is always accessible, even without an Internet connection.
What's in this new digital-only format?
All the information you need for your trip, in one single personalised document:
- Your itinerary and full travel programme (equivalent to your cruise ticket)
- Information on your cruise enrichment: the theme, guests, and partner (if applicable)
- A map of the ship and your stateroom, with details of onboard services available
- Details of activities and extensions during the cruise, as well as any pre/post programmes you have booked
- Advice on what to wear and what to expect on board (available soon)
- Your digital flight tickets (if applicable)
- A pre-filled health declaration form*
You can also easily find the information on your cruise on our website and the PONANT app, which is easy to download on your mobile phone.
If you have any questions about your new travel book format, please don’t hesitate to contact your Travel Consultant. The entire PONANT team would like to thank you for sharing the philosophy that has driven the company for more than 35 years.
* Only the Health Declaration form must be printed, completed, and signed for embarkation.
