Ponant is expanding its cruise options in French Polynesia, with Le Jacques Cartier to join m/s Paul Gauguin in the destination Oct-Dec 2026.
Le Jacques Cartier features 88 staterooms and suites, all with balconies, and a modular marina allowing guests to swim, snorkel, paddle board and more directly off the ship. Due to her small size, the ship can access sandy islets and lagoons that are inaccessible to larger ships. As such, her 13 departures will focus on exploring the most remote and untouched archipelagos of Polynesia think Pitcairn, Gambier and the Australs. Highlighted options include a 15-day Secret Polynesia from the Society to the Austral Islands, sailing ex Papeete on 18 Oct and 13 Dec 2026, with prices from AUD15,180pp. The 15-day From French Polynesia to Pitcairn Island sailing roundtrip Papeete on 15 Nov 2026, is from AUD14,350pp; and a 15-day Polynesian Bliss: Marquesas, Tuamotu and Society Islands has six departures, sailing roundtrip ex Papeete, priced from AUD14,100pp.
