Paul Gauguin Cruises has released its 33 cruises for 2024, to 7 destinations and 2 new itineraries.

This is an opportunity to explore the paradisiacal islands and sunny coasts of Polynesia on board a ship that, between land and sea, will explore the wonders of the South Pacific. But now let’s look at the proposed itineraries.

Society Island Pearls – NEW

Departing from Papeete, the m/s Paul Gauguin will set sail for Huahine, a Garden of Eden with isolated coves. Then it will be Raiatea’s turn to reveal its many treasures, from nature to its most enchanting and historic wonders. Then it’s on to Mahana, a sparkling gem in the lagoon of Taha’a teeming with colorful fish, Bora Bora and, finally, Moorea.

Marquesas in Depths, Tuamotus and Society Islands – NEW

The m/s Paul Gauguin will venture among the crystal-clear water lagoons of the Tuamotus. The atoll of Fakarava, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, will be explored, and Polynesian history and culture, particularly ancestral crafts, will be discovered. Followed by the beautiful islands of Marquesas, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, Nuka Hiva, Ua Pou, then Bora Bora, motu Mahana and Tahiti.

Tahiti and the Society Islands

From Papeete, the ship sets sail for the bays of Huahine, the turquoise waters of Mahana, the lagoons of Bora Bora and the vegetation of Moorea. An itinerary that explores the must-see sights of French Polynesia: emerald lagoons, white sandy beaches, deserted coves, tropical forests, extraordinary native gardens. The beauty of these places has inspired numerous paintings by Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel.

Society Islands and Tuamotus

This trip to the heart of French Polynesia shows all the charms of Bora Bora, Moorea and Mahana, before heading to the Tuamotos archipelago to discover the island of Rangiroa, famous for its black pearl culture. In the idyllic setting of Fakarava Atoll, snorkel in the natural reef aquarium teeming with colorful fish, rays and harmless sharks.

Cook Islands and Society Islands

The m/s Paul Gauguin will sail to Huahine, Bora Bora, Moorea and the wild beauty of the Cook Islands Aitutaki and Rarotonga, before returning to Papeete. You will be able to contemplate and discover from Tahiti, atolls and dream islands, among pearl farms, white sand beaches and beautiful lagoons bordered by coral reefs.

Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands and Society Islands

Departing from Papeete, the ship will set sail to explore the fabulous archipelagos of the South Sea. Fiji and Tonga are among the most beautiful islands in French Polynesia, in a setting where you can snorkel and scuba dive to explore marine life including manta rays, white tip sharks, dolphins, turtles, eagle rays, ribbon eels, clown fish and countless colorful fish.

With these itineraries proposed by Paul Gauguin Cruises we hope to have aroused your curiosity to explore them, especially the first two which are new.
