What makes this South Pacific journey extraordinary isn’t just the scenery — it’s the rare combination of experiences you can only have aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin. This small, purpose built ship accesses shallow lagoons and quiet coves that larger vessels simply can’t reach, opening the door to moments that feel both exclusive and deeply personal.

One day might bring snorkeling in warm, clear water straight from the ship’s watersports marina — an onboard feature designed for easy access to kayaking, paddleboarding, and exploring sheltered bays alive with colourful fish. Another day unfolds on Motu Mahana, the line’s private islet, where guests enjoy swimming, snorkeling, beachside relaxation, and a full barbecue lunch with cocktails from a floating bar.

In Bora Bora, you’re welcomed onto an exclusive private beach on a motu — a calm, secluded spot perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or taking in the island’s iconic volcanic backdrop. And at the end of each day, you return to a ship where nearly all staterooms offer private balconies, three dining venues elevate every meal, and Polynesian hosts share the music, stories, and spirit of their home islands.

It’s a rare blend of marine life, cultural immersion, and small ship luxury — the kind of journey that stays with you long after it ends.

Civilized Adventures has secured exclusive pricing for this sailing — call or email us if you'd like to learn more about joining this unforgettable journey. 403 205 4120 | [email protected]
