Romance Awaits in the Islands of Tahiti
French Polynesia is graced with 118 enchanting islands and atolls and countless motus, each with its own distinct beauty, atmosphere, and myth. One of the most romantic islands is Bora Bora, widely considered one of the world’s fairy-tale honeymoon destinations, and this Valentine’s Day the m/s Paul Gauguin will be here.
The unparalleled beauty of this setting has inspired passion for thousands of years. Lush Mt. Otemanu with its soaring volcanic peak towers in the distance over white-sand beaches and dreamy lagoons. Paul Gauguin Cruises offers an exclusive retreat to guests here—its private beach in Bora Bora. Stroll the sugary sands, bask in the warm sun, and take a refreshing dip in the glistening lagoon. Or paddle through the many shades of blue water by kayak or paddleboard.
Discover one of the world’s most beautiful locales on land and sea excursions as a couple. One of the most unforgettable and exciting experiences you’ll find in the South Pacific is the opportunity to stand in shallow waters as beautiful and playful stingrays swim around you and technicolor fish glide past during the Sharks & Stingrays Encounter excursion.
Or go on a SCUBA diving adventure with your loved one. As a guest aboard The Gauguin, you can witness spectacular marine life up close and swim among beautiful, rainbow-colored coral reefs within a matter of hours. The Gauguin’s SCUBA diving excursions are designed for all levels of experience, and PADI certification is offered on board for novice divers, as well as refresher courses.
After a day of exploration with your love, savor a glass of wine on your private balcony, taking in the captivating island scenery and sunsets. This is also a perfect place for a romantic marriage proposal.
In the evening, enjoy a dinner date at a table for two at one of The Gauguin’s three dining venues—L’Etoile offers international fare, La Veranda features signature dishes from French celebrity chef Jean-Pierre Vigato, and Le Grill serves Polynesian specialties poolside. The decadent course-by-course menus at all three restaurants are perfectly paired with complimentary wines. Or dine in privacy. Surprise your love with a romantic breakfast, lunch, or dinner delivered to your stateroom; room service is complimentary.
Grab a nightcap and feel the magic in the air as you dance the night away with your amour at The Gauguin’s La Palette or on deck beneath the stars.
Couples sailing on The Gauguin can also celebrate their love in a romantic setting amid the turquoise lagoons and exotic islands of French Polynesia. Reserve a wedding ceremony* or renewal of vows package at Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin Cruises’ private islet off the coast of Taha’a, or in the glass-bottom overwater chapel at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa.
For those celebrating an anniversary, an invitation will be issued to The Gauguin’s special Polynesian Blessing Ceremony complete with a poetry, live music, Champagne toast, and cake. At the end of ceremony, couples have the chance to be wrapped in a traditional Tifaifai quilt to commemorate their love. Honeymooners aboard The Gauguin receive a complimentary package featuring an in-stateroom celebratory bottle of Champagne, 8” x 10” portrait, and exclusive pillow gift. Paul Gauguin Cruises also offers optional gift packages for honeymoons, anniversaries, renewal of vows and other special occasions.
There simply is not a more romantic setting for a new beginning or personal milestone than aboard our luxurious ship, and we are renowned for the extra touches and attention to detail that make every occasion special. We even offer gift registries for those who wish to celebrate with the happy couple.
Come sail aboard The Gauguin, and see why Paul Gauguin Cruises has been recognized as the “Most Romantic Cruise” by the editors of Cruisereport.com and “Top Cruise Line for Honeymooners” in the BRIDES Honeymoon Awards.
