Le Jacques Cartier · Polynesia & Melanesia

French Polynesia and Pitcairn Islands: Rangiroa and Pitcairn

14 nights · 15. November - 29. November 2026 · Papeete, Tahiti → Papeete, Tahiti

Discover the voyage↓

This fourteen-night round trip from Papeete combines the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Gambier Islands and a visit to the legendary island of Pitcairn. With just 184 guests and sixteen Zodiacs, Le Jacques Cartier is well suited for landing at Adamstown, one of the most remote inhabited places in the Pacific. The Blue Eye underwater lounge gives access to reefs that hardly any traveller sees. With the Bounty descendants on Pitcairn, the historic cathedral of Rikitea and the wide lagoons of Rangiroa, the voyage links three very different worlds of French Polynesia and the South Pacific.
