About The Cruise
Designed specifically to sail the shallow waters of Tahiti, Fiji, and the South Pacific, MS Paul Gauguin visits small ports that larger vessels can't reach. Onboard, guests can look forwards to an informal, relaxing environment, reflective of the islands visited, without ever having to compromise on service. All suites come with Butler service, and all staterooms are comfortable, spacious, and luxurious. Even though she is one of the smaller ships currently at sea, it may come as a surprise as to how much she offers onboard. Guests will find a choice of three open-seating dining venues, an extensive spa, and even an onboard water sports marina. The Tahitian islands play a major part of the ship's identity, as she is staffed primarily with local islanders, who serve as entertainers, storytellers, and cruise staff, adding a level of Polynesian flair, and the unique personality of Tahiti to each and every voyage.

About Tahiti
The heart and soul of the South Pacific, Tahiti is the largest in a chain of islands that make up French Polynesia. The name can either refer to the main island or the entire destination. Commonly referred to as The Islands of Tahiti, French Polynesia is a collection of 118 islands and atolls scattered across an impressive nautical surface area the size of Western Europe. Still, these tiny islands—many of which remain uninhabited—make up a total landmass of only 1,600 square miles
Tahiti Attractions
World-class snorkeling and diving in Tahiti is one of the South Pacific's best-kept secrets. Both experienced and beginner divers and snorkelers are amazed by how clear the waters are and how close they can swim to the marine life, such as the gigantic manta rays. With hundreds of dive sites throughout the islands, divers can choose from the amazing drift dives, oceanic drop-offs, sunken ships, and lagoon dives with infinite marine life.
Tahiti Activities
There is no better way to gain a sense of everyday Tahitian life and experience the culture of French Polynesia, than passing through the small villages on a circle-island tour. As nearly every island has a coastal road following the lagoon shores, you can either drive around the island by rental car or take a guided bus tour. Explore the island interiors on a 4x4 safari, guided nature hike, or horseback ride. Skim across the lagoons on a motorized canoe, sailboat, or powerboat. For dramatic views above the islands, take a helicopter tour.
This protected atoll together with its six neighboring islands, originally including Taiaro, makes up a UNESCO classified nature reserve, which is the proof of the richness of the ecosystem of these atolls: the especially rare flora and fauna, including the hunting king-fisher, the Tuamotu palm, and in the lagoons, crustaceans such as squills or sea cicadas. Rotoava in the northeast near the Ngarue pass is a charming village, home to most of the atoll's 248 inhabitants and it's aerodrome. Fakarava's immense lagoon provide endless and exciting discoveries for snorkelers in dream-like purple water where 150 foot visibility is the norm, or you may choose to join the local villagers of Rotoava while they demonstrate their handicrafts and colorful cultural traditions.
Experience the natural wonder of the Bay of Virgins on beautiful Fatu Hiva, the most southerly island. The island is wild and spectacularly beautiful. The jungle greenery begins at the waterís edge, with narrow ravines, deep gorges and luxuriant valleys briefly open to view as the boat glides past, close to the sheer cliffs that plunge straight down into the splashing surf.
Taiohae is a pleasant village bordering the sea. It is the administrative, economic, educational and health center of the Marquesas Islands. Here are the French and Territorial administrators, the government buildings, gendarmerie, post office, general hospital, town hall, Air Tahiti office, banks, schools, well-stocked stores and shops. It lies on the south coast at the head of the Bay of Taiohae whose entrance is guarded by two rocks called "Les Sentinelles."
Rangiroa is one of the biggest coral atolls in the world. Diving in and around the two passes, TIPUTA and AVATORU is just indescribable.
Rangiroa Attractions
Tiputa Village - Located across the Tiputa Pass, this is one of several small villages dotting Rangiroa.Tiputa Pass - Many large marine creatures can be found congregating here in the largest pass into the lagoon.Black Pearl Farms - This island is home to many family-owned farms that produce pearls, one of French Polynesia's major exports.
Rangiroa Activities
Great activities that are available, is line or drag fishing as well as motor boat outings to visit Tiputa village, various remote motu islets, the bird sanctuary on Motu Paio and the famous "Blue Lagoon" of Toeo'o.
Green volcanic peaks loom out of the Pacific as you approach Bora Bora. It is a view you will never forget. Bora Bora´s name, which means "fleet of canoes with silent paddles" in Polynesian, is both soothing and exotic. Guide your own outrigger canoe to a deserted beach, snorkel in turquoise lagoons, or bike the back roads of this paradise.
Bora Bora Activities
When you can swim, snorkel, or canoe from your front porch, you may not feel an urgent need to journey far from “home.” But the best way to really see Bora-Bora is from the water. It's easy to find a day-sail, a sunset cruise, or a deep-sea sport-fishing boat that will take you out for marlin or other big-game fish.

Moorea Attractions

In addition to its high and scenically dramatic interior mountains, Moorea is unique among the Society Islands in having magnificent expanses of both white and black sand beaches. It is no stretch to say that the beaches of Moorea Island can be rated among the worlds finest.
