Our Island Archipelagos Guide to B


Stretching nearly 65 million square miles over the surface of the Earth, the Pacific Ocean is the world’s largest body of water, inspiring exploration since the beginning of humankind. Exotic archipelagos dot these waters, boasting lush mountainous interiors, pristine beaches, dazzling coral reefs, and spellbinding histories. In 2015, The Gauguin follows in the wake of Polynesia’s great migrations to island nations of unimaginable beauty, where traditional cultures are proudly maintained and fascinating discoveries abound.


a Named in the early 1800’s after the legendary explorer Captain


James Cook, the COOK ISLANDS are the quintessential tropical getaway and authentic repository of the culture of the South Seas. Te Gauguin visits two islands in this archipelago: Aitutaki and Rarotonga. Visit the Cook Islands on itineraries featured on pages 36 and 40.
