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 mountainous island but with soft shapes has magnificent indented bays and some lovely white sand beaches. The islands dotted around the lagoons are given over to growing different types of melons and there is a varied and abundant supply of fruit and vegetables from these fertile soils.
Huahine Attractions
Marae Manunu - One of Polynesia's most significant cultural sites, the open-air marae features a large sacred stone that is approximately 100 feet long. Ancient Fish Traps - See a traditional form of fishing using 400-year-old Polynesian stone fish traps, still in use today. Belvedere Lookout - Panoramic views of the island, Maroe Bay and the lagoon.
The largest of the Leeward Islands, Raiatea is totally surrounded by a reef but has several navigable passes and the only navigable river in French Polynesia. Raiatea shares a protected lagoon with the island of Taha'a. Discover fascinating underwater scenery within Raiatea's deep lagoon, which is rich with fish and surrounded by mountains. The island offers lush green valleys, numerous waterfalls and pineapple and vanilla plantations.
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´s steep, green velvety peaks are visible from Papeete, 12 miles away. At the base of the mountains are reef-protected turquoise lagoons. To savor Moorea´s breath-taking beauty, find a deserted beach or circle the island by car or bike past quaint villages and ancient temples.
Moorea Attractions
There are many reasons for Moorea's popularity with tourists. 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.
