What Happened to Paul Gauguin's Promised New Ships?

[Host Jazzbeau]

When Ponant took over Paul Gauguin, they announced that two new ships would triple the PG fleet.  Then COVID hit and the new builds were postponed.  Has anyone heard any news that they might be back on the schedule?

This is the thing last I've read, but it is from April 2022, two ships canceled, but I have heard of nothing new on the horizon. I loved the ship, though I know she's older. I think some fancy new Ponant boat will price me out
