https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com August 17, 2022 -- Unlike most cruise terminals, Galataport is underground! Great security includes bomb sniffing dog. Ponant requires (or required) a negative test. Will it ever end? Lines to show documents, covid certificates, drop luggage, passport control and, finally, onboard Le Jacques-Cartier, Ponant's sixth ship designed to venture to the most remote areas, with never more than 184 passengers!
