About This Cruise
The 14 Night Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands is a 14-night round-trip itinerary aboard Ponant Explorers Paul Gauguin. You board and return in Tahiti, calling at 11 ports across 1 country along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in French Polynesia (Tahiti, Rangiroa, Atuona and 9 more).
Because it's round-trip from Tahiti, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. 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.
