Compagnie du Ponant goes all-inclusive

Compagnie du Ponant has gone all-inclusive – moving to a “simpler and thoroughly transparent pricing structure”that highlights all-inclusive fares. All meals, open bar, stocked mini-bars in all staterooms and suites, a welcome-aboard cocktail party, 24-hour room service, all entertainment as indicated within the itinerary, gratuities, port charges – even taxes and fees, are now included in the pricing. Select itineraries also offer air inclusive options. The only extras are guests’ personal expenses, air (in most cases), transfers and optional excursions. The new all-inclusive policy takes effect with all new bookings and will be offered on all of the company’s ships and itineraries. (http://en.ponant.com)
