A stunning collection of volcanic islands and atolls, French Polynesia provides a perfect idyll from today’s fast-paced world. Imagine spending your days aboard the intimate Paul Gauguin, sailing leisurely through crystalline waters, on a 2008 voyage that begins and ends in Papeete, Tahiti. Presented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises, this exceptional journey is enhanced by the casually upscale lifestyle showcased aboard your floating inn, which includes a fabulous spa, invigorating water sports marina, plus spacious staterooms and suites.
Each destination has been chosen for its distinctive character, from Papeete, which inspired some of Gauguin’s greatest paintings, to Rangiroa, whose interior lagoons serve as a backdrop for black pearl farms. On Hiva Oa you will marvel as the lush valleys and thickly wooded forests, while on Nuku Hiva you might explore local culture by visiting a village church service. As your voyage continues to Bora Bora, Taha’a Motu Mahana and Moorea, each adventure delights: lagoon diving, glass bottom boat tours, sunset sails, and dolphin watching excursions are but a few of your many choices this luxurious Regent cruise will take you.
