Ship staterooms

Learn more about Le Jacques Cartier

 

The Ship

Le Jacques Cartier measures 430 feet long and 59 feet wide. It offers 92 staterooms and suites, and five passenger-accessible decks. This human-sized vessel welcomes no more than 184 guests at a time. With a crew of 118, the guest-to-crew ratio is fewer than 2 to 1—ensuring personalized and impeccable service.

 

Activities and Entertainment

Experience something extraordinary in the underwater lounge “Blue Eye.” Located below sea level, this space draws inspiration from marine life and stimulates your senses to help you hear, see, and feel the underwater world. Using state-of-the-art technology, it offers an immersive acoustic, visual, and sensory experience deep beneath the ocean’s surface.

 

Guests can also enjoy water sports such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or snorkeling. On expedition cruises, zodiac outings are organized to explore the natural surroundings.

 

In the evening, unwind with a show at the ship’s theater or enjoy the seawater pool and the onboard spa for a moment of total relaxation.

 

Restaurants, Bars, and Lounges

This luxury ship features two high-end dining venues. Le Nautilus offers an elegant and sophisticated setting where guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine paired with fine wines. Themed lunches take you on culinary journeys through the Mediterranean, Corsica, Asia, Italy, and more.

 

For a more relaxed atmosphere, the outdoor restaurant serves grilled dishes with breathtaking views under the sun. The ship also includes three lounges and a bar. The main lounge hosts concerts and live entertainment.

 

Accommodations

You’ll stay in a cabin that matches the standards of a 5-star hotel—warm, stylish, and fully equipped. No matter your cabin category, you’ll enjoy air conditioning, Wi-Fi access, a flat-screen TV, and on-demand video, as well as 24/7 room service.

 

All staterooms have at least 205 square feet of space and include a private balcony or terrace. The Owner’s Suite is the most spacious, offering 484 square feet of luxury living space.

 

Environmental Protection

Like all ships in the fleet, Le Jacques Cartier is Clean Ship certified. In 2020, Ponant also received Green Marine certification. Both labels affirm the company’s commitment to environmentally respectful practices.

 

Ponant was the first cruise line to eliminate heavy fuel oil. It also works to reduce fuel consumption by limiting sailing speed and investing in hybrid propulsion systems.

 

Before approving any itinerary or excursion, the company conducts on-the-ground environmental assessments to minimize the ecological impact of its cruises on local regions, ecosystems, and communities.
