Farther away from any continental landmass on the planet, the Marquesas are explored in-depth with visits to five islands, including two remote maiden calls in Hatiheu and Hakahau — both renowned for their extraordinary scenery. Delve into cultured history at archaeological sites nestled within the tropical forests throughout the Marquesas, and journey to the Tuamotus to discover Fakarava's UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve and Rangiroa's "endless lagoon." Relax on Bora Bora's pure white sands and soak up the serenity.

Highlights

  • Discover the black sands and basalt cliffs lining Nuku Hiva's Hathieu Bay for a first-hand understanding of why this idyllic setting was one of author Robert Louis Stevenson's favorite places; and journey inland to explore ancient petroglyphs.
  • Witness the extraordinary beauty of the soaring basalt peaks and intricate bays adorning Hakahua — a mesmerizing sight upon approach to this truly off-the-beaten path island known as "the valley of peace."
  • Thrill to the rare discoveries that await in Fakarava's immense lagoon, a UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve celebrated for its incredible coral reefs and out-of-the-ordinary sea life.

Our onboard hosts are at the ready to share their Polynesian culture, with Tahitian dance lessons, hands-on traditional craft demonstrations, and an array of activities for all ages. The day is yours to make what you will of it. Perhaps you’ll take in a lecture by one of our special guests or take part in cooking lessons with the executive chef.

Omoa, Fatu Hiva, Marquesas Islands

July 9, 2024 Omoa, Fatu Hiva, Marquesas Islands


Arrival 7/9/2024 at 11:00 AM
Departure 7/9/2024 at 4:30 PM


The southernmost island in the Marquesas, Fatu Hiva is wild, remote, and spectacularly beautiful. Don’t forget your camera—you’ll be treated to jungle greenery that begins right at the water’s edge; sheer cliffs; and deep, indigo waters. With only 500 residents and only one road, this island is almost completely yours.

Atuona, Marquesas Islands

July 10, 2024 Atuona, Marquesas Islands


Arrival 7/10/2024 at 7:00 AM
Departure 7/10/2024 at 6:00 PM


Take an excursion to explore the deep valleys, rugged peaks and dense velvet rainforests of Hiva Oa, which offer up ancient, massive stone tiki carvings and petroglyphs. Or visit Paul Gauguin's grave on the way in to the village of Atuona where you can see Belgian singer Jacques Brel's plane, Jojo and learn about why these famous artists fell in love with this particular island.

Departure 7/11/2024 at 10:00 PM


The leaf-shaped volcanic island of Tahuata may be small, at only 19 square miles, but it’s full of surprises—in fact, its name means “sunrise” in Marquesan. With only 600 residents, you'll immediately feel welcomed by the friendly locals as you make your way along an ancient royal walkway into the quaint village of Hapatoni. If you're looking to take home a hand-carved tiki from the South Pacific—this is where you'll find the perfect treasure.

Hatiheu, Nuku Hiva Island

July 12, 2024 Hatiheu, Nuku Hiva Island


Arrival 7/12/2024 at 7:00 AM
Departure 7/12/2024 at 6:00 PM


Author Robert Louis Stevenson favored Nuku Hiva’s arching Hatiheu Bay for its enchanting, picture-postcard setting, lined with black sand and crowned by towering basalt cliffs. A visit to Hatiheu promises discovery both cultured and rare. Rife with archaeological sites, the ancient village is best known for its petroglyphs of human figures, turtles, and fish, as well as its marae (traditional temples) and tohua (open-air gathering places)–the most scared of these being the me’ae l’ipoka, protected by a massive banyan tree.

Hakahau, Ua Pou Island

July 13, 2024 Hakahau, Ua Pou Island


Arrival 7/13/2024 at 12:01 AM
Departure 7/13/2024 at 6:00 PM


Truly off the beaten path, the tiny isle of Ua Pou is one of the least visited destinations in all French Polynesia. With its jagged basalt pinnacles rising from the sea to pierce the sky and myriad intimate bays lining its shores, it is one of the most dramatically scenic islands in the Marquesas to witness on approach. The small village of Hakahau is the island’s main town, and locals here take great pride in their ancestral culture, as shown by impressive archaeological sites and modern-day artisan crafts.

Arrival 7/18/2024 at 7:00 AM

Explore lush peaks, wander white-sand beaches, and marvel at the iconic views of Mount Otemanu. Take the plunge with a SCUBA excursion to see the island’s colorful coral reefs, enjoy a sunset jetboat ride, or spend a lazy afternoon on our private beach. Like a priceless Paul Gauguin painting come to life, storied Bora Bora is colorful and unforgettable. The landscape alone will have you searching for adequate adjectives, especially once you see the lagoon—“turquoise” just doesn’t do it justice.

Les Gauguines are also on hand to share musical entertainment and Polynesian crafts.

Tahiti, Society Islands

m/s Paul Gauguin

Designed specifically to glide in luxury through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Once on board, guests enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service. Life on The Gauguin also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Les Gauguin and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.
