Le Jacques Cartier, 14 Night Polynesian Bliss : Marquesas and Tuamotu ex Papeete, Tahiti Return
Cruise Line Ponant
Ship Le Jacques Cartier
Destination South Pacific & New Zealand
Nights 14
Departure Date 27 Dec 2026
Description If heaven were a place on Earth, French Polynesia would probably be it. It has always fascinated and moved all those who have stepped foot on it. Its nature and culture have the power to enchant, and have been creating extraordinary landscapes and recounting ancestral legends for thousands of years. The Marquesas, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, steeped in mystery and a source of inspiration to artists like Jacques Brel and Paul Gauguin, will unveil their wild and mystical soul, between majestic cliffs and lush green valleys. Go back in time to encounter Tikis on the sacred Te I'ipona archaeological site on the island of Hiva Oa, or to see the “petroglyphs” on Nuku Hiva.
