The MS Paul Gauguin is a floating hotel with a comfortable, very spacious and modern (rather than out-and-out decadent) design, excellent on-board facilities, plentiful, high-quality food, and a crew who’ll attend to your every whim. There’s a variety of shore visits on offer, but please note that these aren't included in your passage. However, we can recommend alternative options, such as renting bicycles to explore certain islands, if you so wish. The emphasis here is on relaxing and experiencing the Society Islands’ pristine beaches and motus, whether from shore or in the water — you can even take part in diving with the ship’s school.
