m/s Paul Gauguin Te m/s Paul Gauguin in Moorea
PRO TIP: If you plan to take advantage of Te Gauguin’s popular fee-based scuba diving activities, book your dives as soon as you’re on board.
10/Entertainment & Enrichment Programs—Tere is an extensive array of engaging programs and outstanding entertainment throughout the day and evening. In addition to all the activities provided by Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, there are special guest lectures, a wide variety of musical entertainment, and extravagant Polynesian performances. Remember, many resorts charge extra for these events.
Some of my favorite performances were the incredible French Polynesian folkloric shows of songs and dances by the Moorea Swing Boys and O Tahiti E local dance troupes. Te crew show and musical entertainment in La Palette and the Piano Bar are superb.
PRO TIP: Allow plenty of time to enjoy the ship’s activities and check the Daily Program each evening to plan your next day.

—Tis is an extraordinary destination for families to make unforgettable memories
and celebrate special events together. Tere were a number of both families and multi-generational groups on our sailing who were thrilled with their experiences with some already planning their return trips.
Te line’s complimentary Moana Explorer Program features enriching activities and experiences for kids ages 6–15. Created in partnership with Te mana o te moana, a South Seas education and preservation foundation, the naturalist-led program includes daily fun-filled adventures and hands-on activities that help young guests learn about these islands, Tahitian culture, and marine life. Tis outstanding program is offered on certain sailings during the holidays and summer months.
