Close your eyes and picture a landscape of dreams. A strand of tiny islets shimmering in the South Seas—emerald peaks, ringed by iridescent reefs, and infused with the floral aromas of Eden itself. It's no wonder that the enchantments of the Society Islands have become the stuff of legend, forever capturing the hearts of those fortunate enough to happen upon these shores. And after experiencing this week-long voyage, you'll be able to count yourself among them.

Highlights

  • Explore Huahine, one of French Polynesia's most unspoiled gems—a cultural sanctuary brimming with intriguing archeological sites, fragrant vanilla plantations, and mountainsides bursting with fruits, coconuts, and other tropical beauty.
  • Bask in the serenity of Motu Mahana, The Gauguin's own private islet nestled within Taha'a's dreamy lagoon; here you can swim in gin-clear waters, grab a beverage from the floating bar, enjoy an authentic Tahitian barbeque, or simply relax on a chaise beneath the sway of palms.
  • Discover Bora Bora and Moorea, the grand dames of the Society Islands revered for their iconic peaks and fabled lagoons; they are the South Pacific islands of your dreams.

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.

Don’t be fooled by the vibe of this laid-back, secluded island. Many treasures are hidden among the lush rainforest and dramatic terrain.

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.

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 (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.
