Le Jacques Cartier · Polynesia & Melanesia

Society Islands, Tuamotus & Marquesas: Moorea and Nuku Hiva

14 nights · 29. November - 13. December 2026 · Papeete, Tahiti → Papeete, Tahiti

Discover the voyage

For fourteen nights this round trip from Papeete travels through the Society Islands, the Tuamotu atoll of Rangiroa and the remote Marquesas group. With just 184 guests, Le Jacques Cartier has the agility to enter small bays where the sixteen Zodiacs ensure safe landings. The Blue Eye underwater lounge is a particularly striking place at the coral reefs. Between the island groups lie several days at sea, leaving space for the pool, the marina and the premium all-inclusive service on board.
