On “Timeless” cruises, one excursion per day, per port of call and per person is included, with a wide choice of options: visits to sites and museums, guided walks through historic centres, craft workshops, food and wine tastings, and more. The experience is enhanced by optional excursions at an additional cost and lectures on board led by a destination expert.
On “Expedition” cruises, the team of naturalist guides on board organises excursions and landings. Guests board the ship’s Zodiacs in small groups to explore the environment, observe wildlife and meet local communities.
On “Discovery” cruises, the included excursions (one per day per person) and optional excursions at an additional cost are complemented by outings and landings organised by the naturalist guides. The programme is tailored to each destination to offer the best possible experience.
On certain cruises, snorkelling excursions, introductory scuba-diving sessions and scuba-diving sessions are organised by the instructors on board, with equipment supplied and maintained by PONANT EXPLORATIONS.
Themed cruises are offered each season with renowned partners and guest speakers, including music cruises with exclusive concerts, culinary cruises with guest chefs, and cruises exploring major issues facing society.
Families are welcome aboard PONANT EXPLORERS, including Le Jacques Cartier. Children are welcome from the age of one, except on “Discovery” and “Expedition” cruises, for which the minimum age is six. Subject to availability, connecting staterooms are reserved for families. On selected departures identified as “Kid Explorers”, experienced activity leaders supervise children aged four to thirteen each day, with fun and educational activities on board and ashore. The programme and timings are adapted to each cruise and confirmed on board.
A doctor and nurse are available on board to deal with initial medical emergencies, and the ship is equipped with a medical facility for minor surgery.
However, guests whose health requires special precautions should be aware of the remote nature of some of the regions visited and the lack of specialised medical facilities there. These guests are advised to consult their doctor before considering travelling.
