Pack Your Bags: Dreaming about swaying palm trees,
sunbathing on a deserted beach, or snorkeling in crystal-
clear waters? Cruising the South Pacific is a dream vacation
for many people, offering a perfect blend of stunning

And there’s no better way to see this magnificent part of
the world than via a luxury cruise vacation.
So in anticipation of this wonderful laidback, Jimmy
Buffet type of vacation, make sure you pack an extra
swimsuit, plenty of good suntan lotion and your flipflops.
If an R&R vacation is on your priority list, then sailing
these ocean blues is your perfect getaway come true.
All Aboard A Small Luxury Ship! Waking up each
morning in a new destination, guests sailing on a small
luxury ship often feel they’re bringing the “overwater
bungalow” experience with them as they float along the
itinerary route to many heavenly tropical isles.
The South Pacific “oozes” romanticism, thanks to the
lovely sunset, idyllic beach settings and palm-fringed
lagoons. It’s a big draw for a special occasion. Regardless
of whether you’re celebrating an engagement, honeymoon,
vow renewal or wedding anniversary, this is the perfect
environment to visit on an intimate luxury cruise ship.
We highly recommend the Paul Gaugin Cruise Line. The
advantages of small luxury ships come with many big amenities.
First, the crew members quickly get to know their guests. With a
crew-to-guest ratio of 1 to 1.5, they are able to offer impeccable
service. Many of the crew are of Polynesian heritage and will
make you feel at home, even being far from home.
Guests onboard a small luxury ship will also discover
exquisite dining options with multiple restaurants. From
classic fare, including steak or seafood, you’ll experience
specialty dishes that will allow you to taste the many French
Polynesian flavors often found only in the South Pacific.
But the best part of a small cruise ship is its ability to
venture to other South Pacific isles that are “off-the-beaten-
path.” Even such marquee ports as Moorea or Bora Bora
don’t receive calls every day from larger cruise ships.
Your Navigation Compass: Sailing throughout French
Polynesia and other remote South Pacific isles on a small
ship luxury cruise will leave the crowds behind. So if you’re
wondering where your ship will sail, here’s a brief outline of
just a few of the many isolated islands, coves, bays and shallow
lagoons where your ship might just drop its anchor.
Tahiti and French Polynesia: Tahiti is often the
starting point for South Pacific cruises. You can explore
such beautiful islands as Bora Bora, Moorea and Huahine.
These islands are known for their overwater bungalows,
lush landscapes and vibrant marine life.
Fiji: Fiji is a group of over 300 islands with lush
rainforests, crystal-clear waters and friendly locals. Suva
and Port Denarau are common cruise ports in Fiji.
