10 nights


Society Islands & Tuamotus


Within the rainbow of blue that is French Polynesia lie myriad archipelagos, from the Society Islands to the Tuamotus and beyond. And wherever you voyage across these wide blue seas, you’ll find an exotic, welcoming culture with a dash of French flair.


On this 10-night itinerary, you’ll touch the shores of seven Polynesian islands, each with its own story to tell. For your first chapter, call on Huahine, known as “The Garden Island” for its lush, dense rain forests and dramatic terrain.


From here, it’s on to Fakarava and Rangiroa, a diver’s paradise. Take a dive around Fakarava, and you may encounter groupers, barracuda, rays, or even hammerhead and tiger sharks! And in Rangiroa, discover why divers from all over the world flock here to experience the extraordinary visibility of its lagoon and witness the multitude of tropical fish, manta rays, and dolphins.


Then, marvel at the breathtaking beauty of Bora Bora and Moorea, whose craggy peaks, swaying palms, and pristine waters—the very picture of an island paradise—inspired author James A. Michener to pen Tales of the South Pacific. In between, call on our private motu, Motu Mahana, for a day of exceptional pampering. On Bora Bora, you’ll also enjoy access to our own beach, where you can bask in this glorious scenery and climate in private.


All too soon, The Gauguin arrives at her home port, the Tahitian capital, Papeete. The voyage has come to an end … but the memories will linger forever.
