We have wanted to return to Tahiti since our last cruise there in 2001. It was the perfect relaxing getaway in a most spectacular destination. French Polynesia has such dramatically beautiful islands. Perfect weather too - not too hot! The staff on the Paul Gauguin were the most personable of any cruise we have taken. Just amazing. The ship is lovely, comfortable and spacious.
Three places to dine — all good! Loved dinners in La Veranda but wished the menu changed throughout the week. Nevertheless the food was great, nice presentation and impeccable service.
Embarkation and disembarkation was handled very well - smooth and quick. Efficient.
Fabulous space with two veranadas - one very private right over the bow. So much storage space - could not use it all! Even in the bathroom. Comes with unlimited Wi-Fi. Superb butler service.
Spent two nights at the Intercontinal Tahiti prior to cruise - it was a fabulous resort, great spa
