Itinerary

6 stops · 14 nights

  1. 1
    Papeete / Tahiti (French Polynesia) Start

    The capital of French Polynesia on Tahiti is the pulsating gateway to the South Seas. You'll experience colorful markets, lush volcanic landscapes, and black lava sand beaches.

  2. 2
    Hiva Oa / Marquesas (French Polynesia)

    The remote Marquesas Island in French Polynesia fascinates you with lush green mountains, mysterious tiki statues, and the legacy of artist Paul Gauguin.

  3. 3
    Nuku Hiva / Marquesas (French Polynesia)

    The largest island of the Marquesas in the South Pacific will impress you with dramatic mountain ridges, deep bays and waterfalls. Lush valleys and Polynesian places of worship characterize the wild landscape.

  4. 4
    Ua Pou / Marquesas (French Polynesia)

    The island of the French Polynesian Marquesas impresses with its distinctive volcanic basalt needles that rise steeply from the greenery. A wild, unspoilt South Sea landscape.

  5. 5
    Rangiroa / Tuamotu (French Polynesia)

    One of the largest atolls in the world in the Tuamotu archipelago lures you with a huge lagoon full of manta rays, dolphins and sharks. It is a dream destination for snorkelers and divers.

The ship · Le Jacques Cartier

Le Jacques Cartier belongs to the Explorer class of the French shipping company Ponant and offers space for up to 184 passengers with 92 cabins – an expedition ship that combines luxury equipment with an ice-reinforced hull and Zodiac fleet for landings in remote regions.

The LGBTQ+ tour operator VACAYA has already chartered the ship exclusively on several occasions, including for a circumnavigation of Iceland and for routes through the Eastern Mediterranean. On board, a French kitchen team will provide fine dining, while lectures by expedition guides and Zodiac excursions ashore will characterize the program. The combination of a small number of passengers, a proven expedition character and a clientele that comes exclusively from the queer community has earned the ship a permanent place on the wish lists of LGBTQ+ travelers – especially for those who want to connect remote destinations such as Iceland or the Arctic with a safe, openly queer environment.

Frequently asked questions

How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.

What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.

Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.

What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.

What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
