Cruise package summary
Spend 10 memorable days sailing the South Seas to Tahiti and Bora Bora aboard the five-star Paul Gauguin, the flagship of one of our favorite cruise lines.
Why this cruise is special: This is my fifth sailing to Tahiti, and I cannot wait! If you choose the June 1 itinerary, I'll be serving as your host and guide, and world-renowned ocean preservationist and filmmaker Jean-Michel Cousteau will be joining us. This 10-night itinerary is ideal for those who want to experience the best French Polynesia has to offer, at a good rate and with free air fare.
Details of this sailing
If you choose the June 1 sailing, you're in for a special treat: Jean-Michel Cousteau will be joining us! Jean-Michel, president of the Ocean Futures Society and son of legendary explorer of the seas Jacques Cousteau, shares his late father's love of ocean adventure and protection.
On this voyage you'll visit the remarkable Society Islands, including Huahine, the Garden Island, with its stunning crystalline lagoon. The Tuamotu Archipelago awaits you next. Made up of low-lying atolls, none of the chain's many islets rise more than 10 feet above sea level. Visit Rangiroa, home to the second-largest lagoon in the world. It's famed for its fantastic diving — you may see rays, sharks, dolphins and myriad small reef fish. Go on to call at legendary Bora Bora, Taha'a and Moorea, said to be the model for Michener's “Bali Hai.”
There's a reason these islands are world-renowned — their beauty is unmatched.
