Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: Tahiti over 11 nights, starting in Tahiti and finishing in Moorea, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 7 port days and 3 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

Your home for all 11 nights aboard Ponant Explorers Paul Gauguin — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 11 Night Society Islands & Tuamotus is a 11-night one-way itinerary aboard Ponant Explorers Paul Gauguin. You board in Tahiti and disembark in Moorea, calling at 7 ports across 1 country along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in French Polynesia (Tahiti, Huahine, Raiatea and 5 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Tahiti and home from Moorea, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
