The South Pacific certainly has allure. Wouldn’t you like to learn more?
On Monday, January 25th, I’ll be hosting Tahiti by Paul Gauguin cruises at Shepherd’s Fashions in Ottawa. Clickhere. Here’s a little taste of where you can find yourself. Have a look at this video.
I’ll focus on Tahiti in this first article, and the event with Paul Gauguin, but please do scroll down to learn of other locations, and travel options – such as the Kokoda Track in New Guinea. There’s more to the South Pacific than Tahiti, of course (as exceptional as it is).
Have a look at this author’s guides
http://www.southpacific.org/guide/index.html – there’s a whole host that don’t even touch on Australia and New Zealand. How about the Cook Islands, Fiji, Easter Islands, and Samoa? So much to see and do!
Returning to Tahiti in this block (other islands profiled below), we should consider why you should sail with Paul Gauguin. Well, to Experience the Best, of course! Here are some highlights.
- Paul Gauguin Cruises was named “#2 Small-Ship Cruise Line” in Travel + Leisure’s 2015 World’s Best Awards
- Condé Nast Traveler recognized Paul Gauguin Cruises on its “Top Small Ships” list, 15 years in a row
- The Gauguin is the longest continually sailing luxury cruise sh
ip in the South Pacific
And here are some accolades click
The feeling is French Polynesia. See this video for more of a feel of what that is all about.
As Paul Gaguin cruises notes on their website, “Designed specifically to glide through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is the flagship of Paul Gauguin Cruises and a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing an onboard experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Guests aboard our luxury cruises enjoy spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service. Life onboard also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Gaugines and Gauguins-local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers
