Set sail to discover French Polynesia, considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. From Papeete, Paul Gauguin Cruises invites you to embark on Le Paul Gauguin on a 11 day cruise to the heart of idyllic islands and atolls hemmed by stunning clear-water lagoons and surrounded by an exceptional coral reef. You will discover the wonderful Society Islands, with lush rainforests, impossibly clear lagoon, and endless palm trees swaying in the warm breeze.
You will be dazzled by the incomparable beauty of Huahine, by the sumptuous lagoon of Bora Bora, with its distinctly recognisable...read more volcanic silhouette, and by Moorea, with its hillsides covered with pineapple plantations and its luxurious peaks.
In the Tuamotus, Rangiroa, a gigantic atoll with breathtaking underwater scenery, is most known for the cultivation of its famous black pearls. Be sure to try snorkelling in these natural aquariums where colourful fish, rays and friendly sharks can be found playing amid the reefs or to explore the marvellous depths of the atoll of Fakarava, a UNESCO-classified nature reserve.
Motu Mahana, our little private vanilla-scented paradise with turquoise waters will undoubtedly be the highlight of your cruise.
