About This Cruise
The 13 Night Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands & Society Islands is a 13-night one-way itinerary aboard Ponant Explorers Paul Gauguin. You board in Lautoka and disembark in Tahiti, calling at 9 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Fiji (Lautoka, Beqa Island, Suva and 1 more), Tonga (Vava'u), Cook Islands (Aitutaki) and French Polynesia (Bora Bora, Tahaa, Tahiti).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Lautoka and home from Tahiti, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 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.
