The Le Paul Gauguin was specially built for the waters of Polynesia. It has been crossing the seas of French Polynesia and the South Pacific Islands for more than 20 years and can get very close to lagoons and protected bays. The perfectly thought-out routes allow you to discover the highlights of this beautiful region. On each excursion, the experts and specialists offer you a large selection of excursions with the local partners for the respective destination.
