Luxury Small Ships, Innovative Design

Le Jacques Cartier, launching in 2020, ushers in a new generation of five-star small ships, combining revolutionary design and a new standard of luxury for unparalleled cruising. Dock in smaller ports inaccessible to larger ships, where authentic cultural experiences and majestic scenery await you.

A new addition to the Ponant “Clean Ship” fleet,
an important distinction among ocean-cruising vessels, Le Jacques Cartier is energy efficient and eco-friendly, protecting fragile marine ecosystems.
