Nestled among the cool Pacific waters, Polynesian settlers found a string of fruitful and fertile emerald islands, carpeted with lush rain forests. Scattered over a vast, 2.5 million square kilometer area in the South Pacific, French Polynesia is made up of a series of islands, atolls, and archipelagoes! Each of these islands are surrounded by lagoons and barrier reefs that create unique eco-systems full of vibrant life and divine respites for the weary traveler.

The m/s Paul Gauguin let's you choose from 7, 10, 11 or 14 night Tahiti cruise vacations. All cruises sail roundtrip from Papeete, Tahiti.

Paul Gauguin Cruises is offering a new way for families to explore the South Pacific together through a joint program with the Wildlife Conservation Society. WCS has been committed to saving wildlife and wild places for over 120 years. In addition to being among the world's leading science and conservation organizations, WCS manages the largest urban network of zoological parks, educating and inspiring millions of people at the New York Zoos and Aquarium.

Every day, there will be a combination of island and beach excursions, science activities, crafts, games, and other adventures. While all of the items on the itinerary are included for kids through the nominal fee paid at booking, family members are invited and encouraged to participate in most activities for the additional cost of the shore excursions.

Enjoy Paul Gauguin Cruises Private Paradise ... and Yours!

Part of what makes a voyage with Paul Gauguin Cruises so special is the access our small ships provide to some of the world's most idyllic, unspoiled beaches. In Polynesia, two of those beaches are ours exclusively, and we are happy to share with you the opportunity to spend as much as a full day delighting in their pleasures. Those who enjoy watersports especially are in for a real treat at either of these options.

Motu Mahana in Taha'a - Tucked away off the coast of Taha'a is Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin Cruises' unique island retreat. Spend the day doing exactly what you'd like, whether that's enjoying a good book under the shade of a swaying palm, snorkeling in impossibly blue waters, engaging in a demonstration of Polynesian culture, such as the life of the coconut, or treating yourself to an overwater massage. When refreshments are in order, indulge in a sumptuous barbecue feast - complete with cocktails from our floating bar.

White-Sand Beach In Bora Bora - During The Gauguin's port call on Bora Bora, spend as much time as you'd like on our exclusive beach on a motu off the coast. Enjoy beach volleyball, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and postcard-perfect views of Mount Otemanu towering over the main island in this exclusive getaway.
