Ponant and Carita partner for luxury cruise wellness experiences

French luxury cruise specialist Ponant Explorations is partnering with the Parisian beauty house Carita to integrate high-end skincare rituals into its voyages. The collaboration aims to combine maritime exploration with wellness, introducing Carita’s professional beauty protocols into the onboard treatment cabins.

Passengers will have access to signature treatments such as the ‘Rituel 11 Faubourg’ and the ‘Soin Réparateur Lagon,’ alongside specific protocols developed exclusively for Ponant. These services are designed to aid physical and mental recovery following days of exploration in remote destinations.

Ponant, founded in 1988, is a leader in expedition cruising, specializing in small-ship voyages to off-the-beaten-path locations. The company maintains a distinct French identity through its cuisine, staff, and bilingual service, offering a boutique hotel experience at sea.
