Jacques Cartier

Set sail for the enchanting beauty of French Polynesia aboard Le Jacques-Cartier. From the rugged, wild peaks of the Marquesas to the secret lagoons of the Tuamotus, this intimate yacht unveils a side of the Pacific few ever witness. With gentle ocean breezes, breathtaking vistas, and timeless moments over the open sea, every stop is a soft invitation to disconnect and immerse yourself in sheer island elegance.

Exceptional opportunity: the expedition ship Le Jacques Cartier will be sailing in French Polynesia for a limited time, from October 2026 to February 2027, and again from October 2027 to January 2028.
