PAUL GAUGUIN CRUISES —
The Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti, Fiji, and the South Pacific, visiting small exotic ports larger ships can’t reach. These small ship cruises (just 332 guests) offer an informal environment and Polynesian flair, coupled with 5-star service and luxury, including spacious suites and staterooms (over 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, an extensive spa, live entertainment, and more! Accommodating just 88 guests, the award-winning luxury ship Tere Moana was added in 2012, sailing the Caribbean and Latin America during winter months and Europe the rest of the year. Experience Tahiti’s underwater wonders with the Gauguin’s optional SCUBA certification program, or explore the ocean’s surface via kayak, paddleboard, or Windsurfer. Enjoy lectures on the natural and cultural history of the area by one of their onboard naturalists. Shore excursions feature underwater explorations in colorful coral reefs, experiencing mountain peaks on foot, coach, or safari vehicle, as well as exploring by helicopter, aquabike, submarine, and jet ski, and more.
