you. You’re on vacation, which means indulgence is mandatory. Whether that means a spa appointment, ordering two (or who’s counting? Go for three!) desserts, or simply lounging the day away, you’re allowed.
Huahine Any way you look at it— from the air, from the sea, above or below the water—Huahine is a stunner. On today’s menu: lavish jungle, stately palms, warm sands, and a lagoon with a surface like glass.
To visit this island is to step back in time. Walk among French Polynesia’s largest and best-preserved and restored archaeological sites, including more than 200 centuries-old dwellings, sacred relics, and ancient artifacts. T e pace on Huahine is relaxed. Life is uncomplicated, and smiles come easily.
You’ll have plenty of time to experience the island and stir up a little adventure, or kick your shoes off , get some sand between your toes, and take in the calm.
Bora Bora As long as you live, wherever you go, nothing will compare with awakening aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin as Bora Bora approaches in all its magnifi cence.
Breakfast on your balcony or on deck is a must. T is has to be one of the South Pacifi c’s most decadent views. Join your fellow passengers on deck and start snapping some pictures to post, tagged #nofi lter. Be ready for responses like, “Yeah, right.” For the uninitiated, this level of beauty just cannot be real—but it is.
Soar like an eagle over exquisite topography, and experience what you’ll never see from the ground on the 30-minute Helicopter Flightseeing—Bora Bora & Tupai tour. T e
“Pearl of the Pacifi c” will open like an exquisite fl ower below you. You’ll circle the island’s highest peak, Mount Otemanu, and fl oat over the famous heart-shaped motu of Tupai. Throughout the flightseeing, headphones connect you to the pilot’s commentary as he points out the sights below.
Taha’a [Motu Mahana] Forget your troubles, deadlines, and responsibilities on this gentle little island that will steal your heart and tingle your senses. Taha’a’s sweet, vanilla-scented air will stay with you like your fi rst kiss, and its beauty will be forever imprinted in your mind.
If you made it your quest on this voyage to fi nd your perfect beach, you may discover it here at Motu Mahana. Bring your complimentary snorkel gear from T e Gauguin, choose your favorite chaise lounge, and spend the day in your own private slice of paradise.
Moorea It seems like you could walk for miles in Moorea’s waist-deep lagoon, with the soft sand beneath your feet, the kiss of the sun on your shoulders. Like the fi nest uncut lead crystal, the warm water has such clarity, it’s almost as if it isn’t there. Take a spin in a glass-bottom boat, snorkel, swim, or just fl oat—and you will have the sensation of weightlessness. Looking landward, this magical lagoon is met by a carpet of jungle, which surrenders to the fractured shell of a once-mighty volcano. Everywhere you look is exceedingly beautiful.
Papeete, Tahiti And so you reach the conclusion of this chapter of your epic autobiography. Certainly, another chapter further on will begin with the words, “When we returned to The Gauguin for another voyage, we were welcomed like old friends, as if we had never been away.”
Tip from Carol
Sea days give you the opportunity to relax and really enjoy the ship. One of my favorite activities is watching a cooking demonstration. If you want to see some of the techniques

behind the magic that appears on your plate each evening on board, don’t miss it when the Executive Chef invites guests to Le Grand Salon to demonstrate some of his favorite recipes.
