Even better is to report it as Spam. Clicking Unsubscribe confirms that your address is a valid address - whilst I am sure that Ponant are a legitimate business many less legitimate people sending out huge numbers of emails to addresses which may or may not exist - if you unsubscribe you immediately confirm that you exist and are thus a better target in future (and if they are not a legitimate business they are unlikely to take you off their mail list). Furthermore if you did not sign up for Ponant but they got your address by buying a mailing list then as far as I am concerned it is spam and to be discouraged - and if enough people report as spam then they may find their ISP reluctant to deal with them in future.

Unsolicited advertising should be almost immediately terminated by clicking on the usually very fine print saying "unsubscribe" or similar at the bottom of the email.

But a friend of mine (not a birdwatcher) went on their Antarctic cruise about 3 years ago and there was an ornithologist on board who gave lectures and identified the birds they encountered, so they probably have a bird list for that cruise at least. I don?t know about the other Ponant cruises, though.
