Hi, you'll find Ponant cruises in Australia/NZ quite different to Europe, as they are 90%+ English-speaking passengers. Antarctica cruises are about 75% from experience, but a lot of the Ponant expedition team in that area are Australians or New Zealanders too.

We have just booked Hobart-Lyttleton and Lyttleton-Auckland back to back in Jan 23. We've been given a deck 4 cabin for the first leg, and deck 3 for the second. I was wondering if anyone has had this before as my question is what happens with the change over - do we have to take our bags off and check back in later in the day - or will they move our stuff for us (as P&O have done for me previously)?

I've already booked to do this itinerary (in reverse) in October 2023. It sold very quickly as it will be the 2023 Chairman's Cruise hosted by Sarina Bratton - quite a lot of the passengers pre-booked it on this years Chairman's Cruise. I'll let you know how it goes when I get back! 😁
