Begin your journey to a paradise in the capital of Tahiti, the largest and most populated of the French Polynesian islands. Here you'll embark M/S Paul Gauguin. This luxurious yet casual, ultra-deluxe vessel will be your home for the next week. With an endless choice of things to do, from relaxing poolside with a book to playing the slots in the casino, you will never be bored.

Raiatea was once the cultural, religious, royal and political heart of Polynesia, and, according to legend, and lore, as well as Tahiti's most significant archeological sites. Ancient Polynesians built maraes, or temples, of stone in many sizes. The maraes provided a physical space for the spirit of the gods to occupy during ritual ceremonies, as did the carved wooden tikis for which the region is famous. The island is home to Taputapuatea, a national monument and the most important marae in the Society Islands. You will bid adieu to Raiatea just before dinner and set sail with the compass set for Motu Mahana

Motu Mahana, an islet adjacent to Taha'a, is your very own South Seas paradise featuring white sand beaches with swaying palms, crystal-clear waters and gentle breezes. Enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch and Polynesian entertainment featuring strolling musicians and singers.

Immediately recognizable by the basalt tombstone of Mount Otemanu rising from the ocean, the half-atoll, half-mountain of Bora Bora is surrounded by a spectacular lagoon and a series of smaller islands. Ancient Polynesians called it Parapora, or “firstborn,” because they thought it was the first island created after Raiatea.

Today is another day spent at Bora Bora. You will set sail before dinner, enjoying a relaxing evening on board.

Covered in an abundance of fresh fruits and flowers, spectacular mountain peaks, peaceful multi-hued lagoons and palm-fringed beaches – Moorea's awesome beauty is unsurpassed. An overnight here affords you two full days on Bora Bora's gorgeous sister island.

Today you'll have until the afternoon to explore more of the peaceful oasis that is Moorea.

At the end of the afternoon, you'll cruise back to Papeete, docking for the night.

Cap off your epic journey where it all began. You won't be the same as when you first set sail – these exotic isles are said to touch people in magical ways. This morning you'll disembark at the port of Papeete and bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates, as your cruise adventure has come to conclusion.

Enjoy a private airport transfer.
