Dreams come true with magical Paul Gauguin cruise to French Polynesia

Your National Cruise Examiner has sailed around French Polynesia dozens of times. Each experience proved as fantastical as the last. The awesome archipelgo delights the senses with verdant mountains, motus (little islands that jut out of lagoons), crystal clear waters, swaying palms and oh, those  mystical sunsets that seem to leap right out of a  Paul Gauguin painting. 

Each port from world-famous Bora Bora to Moorea boasts a distinctive personality--but all are so French so very Polynesian, so very, very inviting. Every island is easily explored by personal driver, local bus or even bicycles (we once biked the entire 22 miles around Bora Bora and it was incredible with local children waving and smiling to us as we pedaled by).

And now, for only two Paul Gauguin Cruises is offering a special deal to make  more dreams of French Polynesia voyages come true for more people. The operator of the highest-rated and longest continually sailing luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific, the m/s Paul Gauguin, is offering incredible savings on select sailings of two of the most popular voyages. Guests will benefit from these exceptional savings while enjoying the highest standards of luxury, quality, and service in the most exquisite destination in the world.
