VIDEO From the Bridge: Meet the Captain of the Paul Gauguin on a Cruise in Tahiti

What’s it like to captain a ship that sails year-round in exotic French Polynesia? World's Greatest Cruises' host Lynn Elmhirst got to ask the captain of the Paul Gauguin on a visit to the bridge when we sailed on a week-long voyage around the Islands of Tahiti. It’s a bucket-list trip for many of us – and rightfully so. Nowhere in the world compares with the tropical romance of the South Seas, and the Paul Gauguin doubles down on everything to feed your travel imagination. Even after years with the ship, Captain Rene-Paul Boucher is still under the spell of French Polynesia and the unique experience of sailing the Paul Gauguin among these islands. The Paul Gauguin is unique among ships who sail there for its ability to navigate around the islands, the extraordinary geography of the land and seas, from mountains and islands, atolls and lagoons. And especially, the crew and the Gauguins and Gauguines on board who connect the ship so completely to the islands, people and culture of French Polynesia.
