Fench Polynesia Cruise - Cook Islands and the Society Islands

Lori and the gang are heading to Tahiti today.  Hopefully she'll have wifi available so she can post photos during her 11night journey through French Polynesia on the luxurious Paul Gaugin ship.
On this South Pacific Odyssey, they'll discover the isle of Huahine, renowned for its spectacular rain forests. Next, they'll experience the unique majesty of the Cook Islands. Arid Aitutaki is virtually flat-so much so that you can spot the ocean from nearly any point on the island, sitting in sharp contrast to sister island Rarotonga's jagged peaks and deep valleys. Rarotonga's fertile slopes of red earth and sparkling aquamarine lagoon call to mind the classic Victorian ideal of paradise, which the island was called by its first European explorers. They'll return to the Society Islands for days in alluring Bora Bora, Taha'a, Moorea, and Papeete.
Their days will be filled with a variety of activities to choose from;

  • Learn about the natural and cultural history of the destination through a lecture with one of the on-board naturalists
  • Explore the ocean’s surface via paddle board, kayak or windsurf, or Tahiti’s underwater wonders while scuba diving and snorkeling.
  • For the ultimate relaxation discover the luxury spa
  • Relax poolside in a lounge chair with a good book and a beverage from the pool bar 
  • Watch spectacular performances, such as an electrifying Polynesian show featuring the arts of the islands.
