Ponant Explorations in The Islands of Tahiti - New & Unique!

On this weeks Tahitian Moment Live, Carl is joined by Vicky from Paul Gauguin Cruises and Erica, a Ponant expert, for part one of a special two-part series. In this episode, we’ll be diving into the world of Ponant- exploring the brand’s unique approach to small-ship luxury cruising in French Polynesia. Erica will walk us through what makes Ponant stand out, with a special focus on Le Jacques Cartier, one of their newest and most refined explorer vessels. Whether you’re just starting to explore cruise options or are a seasoned traveler looking for something different, this is a great opportunity to learn more. We want YOU to be part of the conversation! Ask questions live, share your thoughts, and discover if Ponant is your dream way to sail the South Pacific. They are going to be visiting some of the more remote island archipelagos of the Australs, Gambier and Marquesas Islands. Some deep explorations! Part two will focus on the incredible itineraries offered by Ponant, so be sure to stay tuned for that coming on July 31, 2025 episode of the Tahitian Moment Live.
