Planning a South Pacific voyage for 2027? Most people sail to Tahiti and see three islands. This episode goes further - to the Tuamotu atolls, the Marquesas, and the Cook Islands, the places the standard Society Islands loop never reaches. Aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin: just 330 guests, one crew member for every one and a half travelers, and a shallow draft built for anchorages the big ships cannot enter. Every stateroom is ocean view. Nearly seventy percent have balconies. Beverages are complimentary. And she is the only luxury ship in French Polynesia offering PADI certification. This is Episode 4 of Ports, Cruises and Resorts, my series for luxury and experiential travelers 45 and better who would rather be somewhere remarkable than somewhere crowded.
