Following the success of its first catamaran – Spirit of Ponant – in Corsica and the Seychelles in 2024, PONANT EXPLORATIONS is expanding to more exceptional destinations.

The world’s largest ultra-luxury commercial catamaran has been launched onto the water, ready for its finishing touches before it officially starts sailing in the Galapagos in April 2025.

Small ship specialist Sail Croatia has added three brand new vessels to its yachting portfolio for 2024, following strong demand for its Private Yacht Tours. The UK-based business, which offers small ship cruising, bareboat charter, flotilla sailing and skippered private yacht tours around Croatia, had previously unveiled plans for the addition of a new luxury cruise ship for 2024.

G Adventures has introduced its first custom-built catamaran to its fleet of vessels in the Galapagos this northern hemisphere summer.
