Between extraordinary landscapes and enduring cultural treasures, the Society Islands reveal their most compelling jewels. For generations, these islands have drawn artists and writers—from Gauguin and Matisse to Jacques Brel—captivated by their light, form, and enchanting beauty. It is easy to understand why: Huahine unfolds like a serene Garden of Eden; Raiatea stands as the spiritual heart of the islands, shaped by ancient marae (temples) and deep tradition; Bora Bora’s vast lagoon shimmers in endless shades of blue beneath a crown of jagged peaks; and Moorea’s sculpted pitons invite moments of stillness and reflection. On Motu Mahana, a small private islet infused with the scent of vanilla, schools of brilliantly coloured fish move through turquoise waters in a gentle, mesmerizing rhythm—an interlude of pure escape, experienced in a way only these islands can offer.

Explore our shore excursions here.

Highlights

  • Surrender to the allure of Bora Bora, the leading lady of French Polynesia. Delight in an unforgettable overnight stay, surrounded by the legendary lagoon and the iconic peaks of Mt. Otemanu.
  • Explore the ancestral homeland of the Maori people and immerse yourself in the cultured history of Raiatea; the UNESCO-listed Marae Taputapuatea archaeological site is a testament to the island's rich heritage.
  • Be enchanted by Motu Mahana, our exclusive private islet nestled within Tahaa's breathtaking lagoon. Indulge in tropical drinks, savour a sumptuous barbecue feast, and indulge in the luxury of unwinding and rejuvenating amidst this idyllic setting.

Tahiti, Society Islands

May 27, 2028 Tahiti, Society Islands


Embarkation 27/05/2028 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Departure 27/05/2028 at 6:30 PM


The largest of French Polynesia's 118 islands, Tahiti and it's capital city of Papeete are the perfect place to begin (and/or end) your South Pacific sojourn. The Gauguin waits patiently in the harbor, a vibrant and bustling market across the street and in the evenings roulottes (food trucks) line the nearby square offering tasty local fare.

Huahine, Society Islands

May 28, 2028 Huahine, Society Islands


Arrival 28/05/2028 at 8:00 AM
Departure 28/05/2028 at 5:00 PM


Don’t be fooled by the vibe of this laid-back, secluded island. Many treasures are hidden among the lush rainforest and dramatic terrain. With a bit of exploration, you’ll uncover some of the best-preserved archeological sites in French Polynesia. Underwater treasures await as well, with a snorkel excursion in the lagoon.

Raiatea, Society Islands

May 29, 2028 Raiatea, Society Islands


Arrival 29/05/2028 at 8:00 AM
Departure 29/05/2028 at 5:30 PM


Blanketed in a lush landscape dotted with waterfalls, fertile valleys, and the cloud-capped Mt. Temehani, Raiatea is Polynesia’s most sacred island; it was from here that the earliest migrations set forth to settle in Hawaii, New Zealand, and beyond. The island boasts a rich Maohi history–it is home to the UNESCO-listed Marae Taputapuatea archaeological site–verdant mountains ideal for hiking, and a stunning lagoon perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and soaking up the heavenly tranquility.

Taha

May 30, 2028 Taha'a, Society Islands (Motu Mahana)


Arrival 30/05/2028
Departure 30/05/2028 at 5:00 PM


As the day unfolds in front of you, where will you go? Exciting shore excursions await, but so does Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin Cruises’ own private islet. Choose from swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or simply lounging on the beach with a cold drink from our floating bar. Les Gauguines are also on hand to share musical entertainment and Polynesian crafts.

Bora Bora, Society Islands

May 31, 2028  June 1, 2028 Bora Bora, Society Islands


Arrival 31/05/2028
Departure 01/06/2028 at 6:00 PM


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. 

 

*Subject to availability as conditions allow. When unable to call there, we will be offering a tender to the pier and a free shuttle to Matira Beach, the island’s award-winning public beach that features restaurants, public facilities and shopping. Voted #1 in the best things to do in Bora Bora by U.S. News & World Report, Matira Beach boasts powdery white sand, waters in a thousand shades of blue, and is wonderfully uncrowded.

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 (nearly 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 Gauguins and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.

Guest Speaker

Aboard your ship, an English-speaking lecturer will enlighten you about the culture and history of your destination to deepen your knowledge of the origins of local traditions, the history of emblematic sites, and stories involving famous personalities and those of major historical significance. During on-board lectures or on your shore visits, this expert will be there to share their precious knowledge with you throughout your PONANT cruise.

Diving

During an introduction to scuba diving or a more advanced dive for holders of the necessary certifications (level 1 on yachting cruises and 2 on expedition cruises), explore the planet’s most beautiful underwater environments in the company of a PONANT diving instructor, as well as a local instructor when required by local legislation. They will ensure that your dives are conducted smoothly and safely: supervision of four certified divers at a time, evaluation of diving skills and experience, adherence to safety stops, zones and the maximum depth authorised.

A recent medical certificate (less than 12 months) must be presented at the beginning of the cruise to the main diving instructor.
