Dear Traveler,
Welcome to what I believe is shaping up to be the most exciting year in the history of the m/s Paul Gauguin! The highest-rated and longest continually sailing luxury cruise ship in the region, The Gauguin will host a number of special events, guests, and itineraries in 2012—as always, within the context of our home: the glorious tropical waters of Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Seas.
Within these pages, you’ll find details of all of these one-of-a-kind itineraries—including three itineraries that are new for next year. We’re ringing in 2012 with a special South Pacific Discovery cruise that showcases the cultural and scenic variety within this rainbow of blue. In September, we’ll visit Rurutu, the “Island of Whales,” at the height of whale-watching season, on our Australs & Society Islands cruise. And later in the fall, immerse yourself in the exotic on a cruise to Fiji, Tonga, Cook & Society Islands.
We’ll also welcome several special guests aboard next year, including renowned oceanographer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau and celebrity Parisian chef Jean-Pierre Vigato—as well as two sailings featuring our own Chairman, Richard Bailey.
Another special event will occur in June on our popular Tahiti & the Society Islands cruise. Be sure to be onboard for the last Transit of Venus to occur in our lifetime.
Whichever itinerary you choose, you’ll be sailing aboard this luxury small ship at its finest, enjoying the all-new décor and other enhancements of a recent refurbishment. You’ll also enjoy our signature extraordinary value, with all-inclusive pricing and savings of 50% off standard cruise fares plus FREE airfare from Los Angeles.
With space limited to just 332 guests per sailing, space is bound to fill up fast. I urge you to make your selection right away!
Bon voyage,
Diane Moore, President Paul Gauguin Cruises
