Overview


This superb yacht unique atmosphere a subtle blend of luxury intimacy and well-being.

In keeping with the philosophy of PONANT and the PONANT EXPLORERS, Le Jacques Cartier is a modern ship with slender, tapered lines, it is environmentally friendly and equipped with innovative technology.


A more eco-friendly sailing

Ecodesign is at the centre of our reflection. The latest innovations available at the time of its creation were deployed on board this vessel. Since then, PONANT has regularly improved its environmental performance at each technical stop.

Minimal and transitory impact

Modern ships, cutting-edge technologies, strict landing protocols, environmental impact studies, crew training: find the environmental commitments that guide us on a daily basis, with the greatest respect for both the marine and terrestrial ecosystems that we take you to.

Co-construction with local populations

We take passengers to discover rare destinations and to meet the populations that have lived there for centuries. So, our itineraries are planned out in consultation with the local authorities and we make our crew, naturalist guides and passengers aware of good practices to adopt in the communities in which they will be staying.

Tastefully decorated, Le Jacques Cartier reflects the universe so dear to PONANT, with its light tones and open-to-the-sea design providing soft light and luminosity at every instant of the day. Its ethnic chic ambiance pays homage to the destinations we visit.

Located below the waterline, the Blue Eye offers a unique experience: the opportunity to enjoy undersea views and the sounds of the marine world whilst sharing a glass together.
