Leaving from Papeete, PAUL GAUGUIN Cruises offers you a 14-day cruise to discover four beautiful archipelagos of the South Seas. Set sail aboard Le Paul Gauguin for an unforgettable journey between nature and culture, through the varied and luxuriant landscapes of the idyllic islands and atolls of French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Tonga and Fiji.
In the Society Islands, in French Polynesia, you will be dazzled by the incomparable beauty of the sumptuous lagoon of Bora Bora, with its distinctly recognisable volcanic silhouette, by the turquoise waters of the Motu Mahana, our private vanilla-scented little paradise, and by Moorea, with its hillside pineapple plantations and its verdant peaks overlooking the island.
You will sail towards the Cook Islands and the incredibly clear waters of the Aitutaki lagoon.
Le Paul Gauguin will then set sail for the Kingdom of Tonga. Consisting of around 30 picture-postcard islets, Vava’u is an idyllic and pristine destination for exploring the wonderful seabed, sunbathing on the fine sandy beaches edged with coconut trees and discovering the local crafts and traditions.
You will finally discover authentic villages, hillsides covered in dense tropical vegetation and the sumptuous lagoons of the islands of Fiji.
- Live the life idyllic with a memorable day on Motu Mahana, our own private slice of paradise. On this exclusive islet, treat yourself to sand between your toes, the shade of swaying palm trees, a sumptuous barbecue lunch, and, of course, drinks sipped from coconuts.
- International Date Line crossing
- Two separate Fijian ports showcase an intriguing juxtaposition: the sophisticated capital city of Suva and the unspoiled beauty of Savusavu, called the “Hidden Paradise of Fiji.”
- Landscapes: superb atolls, transparent waters, turquoise lagoons, white-sand beaches, sugar cane and pineapple plantations, rocky peaks and more.
- Possibility of diving (PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent) with an experienced instructor on board.
