After completing its acquisition of Aqua Expeditions in January 2025, Ponant Explorations Group is taking a major step in unifying its guest experience with the launch of a Status Match initiative across the loyalty programs of its entire brand portfolio.
Historically, Ponant Explorations, Paul Gauguin Cruises, and Ponant Yachting have shared a unified loyalty program—the Ponant Yacht Club—while Aqua Expeditions operated its own, Circolo Aqua, launched September 2025. With this new Status Match initiative, Ponant Explorations Group brings all its loyalty programs under one framework, offering guests enhanced recognition and benefits across the Group’s brands.
