SEDUNIA TRAVEL is proud to partner with PONANT, a luxury French cruise, offering a unique level of adventure, setting itself apart with exclusive expeditions.
Now entering their fourth season since launching polar expedition cruises in 2022, SEDUNIA TRAVEL, partnering with PONANT, are committed to bringing explorers to create memorable journeys to these remote and unique destinations.
PONANT has created a new level of expeditions with the world’s only luxury polar icebreaker, Le Commandant Charcot,which can reach areas inaccessible to other ships.
For the North Pole expedition, travellers will make their way to 90°N which is literally the Top of The World onboard an interesting journey of ice-cutting across the solid ice mass. This Arctic ice mass is separated by the ocean from its surrounding land whilst encounters with polar bears in their natural icy habitat are breathtaking to say the least.
Across the other end of the globe is Antarctica, also known as the White Continent. It is a dream destination for any travellers at heart, and they certainly won't be disappointed when they witness it all in its natural splendor. This state-of-the-art vessel cruises into the Weddell Sea and crosses the Antarctic Circle to the Ross Sea, where travellers may have the opportunity to witness the Emperor Penguins, the largest species on the planet. These majestic and elusive creatures are found deep in Antarctica where they thrive on frozen ice.
Mr Ryo Ijichi, PONANT’s planner and Expedition Leader explains. “PONANT takes these expeditions to another level, as we are not only committed to comfort and luxury on board, but we take great efforts to ensure travellers get to enjoy an experience of a lifetime. We plan a unique adventure for each traveller as they experience the journey to the polar region on board our icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot, with opportunities of being close to nature with wildlife sightings, incredible views and surreal experiences". Mr Ijichi was in Kuala Lumpur recently as part of the PONANT South East Asia roadshow to launch the latest 2025/2026 polar itineraries.
North Pole adventure - A real life experience
Just recently, Madam Teoh Leng Lan, Executive Director of SEDUNIA TRAVEL, set sail together with esteemed guests on the North Pole expedition. Her experience on this breath-taking journey on board Le Commandant Charcot highlights the unique experiences these voyages can offer.
