Last month river operator CroisiEurope also signed on as a global cruise line member.
Ponant and CroisiEurope are both a part of the CLIA Specialty Cruise Collection, a group of 17 lines representing the small ship, river, coastal, luxury, adventure and sailing ship member lines.
'With the development of our sales offices in the USA and Australasia, we look forward to engage fully with CLIA’s office and CLIA travel agent and agency members around the world over the coming years,' said Jean-Emmanuel Sauvée, founder and ceo of Ponant.
