Having been on 4 cruises with Seadream including the epic Amazon trip and never feeling disappointed with all the boat had to offer .....we were recommended the Paul Gauguin as a real alternative comparison to see a part of the world that Seadream doesn't sail in.
We took up the specially promoted Whale watching tour in the South Pacific which included a detour away from the society islands down to Rurutu in the Australs (some 350 miles south) to witness a great whale watching experience with the Humpback Whale population. The tour included Jean Michel Cousteau & other expert whale academics.
During the first part of our tour we were not disappointed with our experiences on TaHa'a , Huehine & Bora Bora , seeing both sharks and whales close up in the lagoon surrounding Bora Bora. The islands are spectacular and the people very welcoming. The on-board Polynesian team delivered great high quality entertainment along with their duties as hosts along the way.
Rooms were spacious and well designed . Plenty of room to hang all your clothes up and hide the cases. TV in room with DVD player and a good library DVDS at reception. A fridge stocked with all your favourite drinks (all included) helps after a hard day on the beach Our maid was brillliant keeping the room as fresh as the first time we entered it
