Starting in 2026, Ponant will expand its French Polynesia program by positioning Le Jacques Cartier in the archipelagos of Polynesia and the Pacific from September 2026 to March 2027.
Le Jacques Cartier will introduce new itineraries, including themed itineraries that will highlight the history and cultures of the archipelagos visited.
“French Polynesia is a very popular destination among our guests. We want to offer them a wide range of itineraries and experiences in line with what has shaped our identity,” explains Hervé Gastinel, CEO of the Ponant group, “small French-flagged ships, committed to respecting the territories visited and minimizing our impact, all with Ponant’s refined and exclusive service.”
“Paul Gauguin Cruises is the expert on French Polynesian destinations, and the relaxed atmosphere and warm welcome of its award-winning m/s Paul Gauguin have delighted guests for over 25 years,” said Hervé Gastinel. “With Le Jacques Cartier, we are bringing a complementary offering, combining destination expertise with Ponant’s DNA. We will offer an expedition cruise format, in direct contact with nature and local communities, with our signature French touch.
