TAHITI & THE SOCIETY ISLANDS CRUISES
Lose yourself in turquoise waters, emerald forests, and blue skies
For nearly 2,000 years, the South Pacific islands now known as the Society Islands and
Tuamotus have been inhabited by the Polynesian people, who have created island paradises
hard to equal anywhere else in the world. European discovery in 1521 led to the islands’
becoming a French protectorate in 1889 and to being known thereafter as French Polynesia.
Their magical, primal appeal has inspired some of the world’s best-known artistic
masterpieces, served as the enchanting setting of novels and musicals, and they have been
silent observer to the unfolding of historic love stories. Their history is legendary, their
people warm-hearted, and their fertile soils and waters rich with life. And now you can
explore them like never before, aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin.
Join us in discovering this South Pacific paradise, aboard a 7- or 9-night voyage, and
explore crystalline waters, lively island life, and the celebrated traditions of the Polynesian
culture that colors the islands.
