A Landscape That Inspired the Masters
The 118 islands and atolls (ring-shaped coral reefs) of French Polynesia shimmer like a string of prized Tahitian pearls. Tahiti and the Society Islands have inspired generations of artists and writers seeking to capture their magical allure. Among countless others, Herman Melville, James A. Michener, Henri Matisse—and of course Paul Gauguin himself—were transfixed by these islands. You will be, too.
Sailing to five islands in seven days, our luxurious small-ship the m/s Paul Gauguin will bring you closer to Tahiti, Huahine, Taha’a, Bora Bora, and Moorea for an experience not possible on larger ships. Each island will charm you in a different way. To see French Polynesia is to be forever changed by her beauty on our Tahiti cruises. The experience cruising to these islands is unmatched with each island beckoning with Edenic beauty. This is the proverbial adventure of a lifetime.
Long before it drew luxury travelers, French Polynesia drew artists. Herman Melville, James A. Michener, Henri Matisse, and Paul Gauguin himself were all transfixed by these islands, each trying to capture an allure that has inspired generations of writers and painters. Sailing the same lagoons and anchoring beneath the same peaks, you'll see exactly what moved them, and you may well come home changed by it. It's a fitting heritage for the ship that carries Gauguin's name.

Why Sail Tahiti & the Society Islands with Paul Gauguin Cruises
Devoting one ship entirely to this corner of the world buys a kind of familiarity that reveals itself on every day of this Tahiti and Society Islands itinerary, in where the ship can go and how well it knows the way. We call it home.
Few guests, more access
With room for a maximum of 330 guests, the m/s Paul Gauguin is small enough to reach lagoons and islands the big ships cannot access.
One Simple Fare
Dining, drinks, watersports, onboard entertainment, gratuities, and private beach time are all part of the price from the moment you book.
Unmatched regional experience
With close to 30 years sailing in French Polynesia, no luxury line knows these waters, or the communities along them, more intimately.
Made for the South Pacific
A shallow draft, a stern watersports marina, and a fleet of Zodiac tenders let the ship sail and anchor exactly where these islands invite you.
