In 1891, when Paul Gauguin arrived in Tahiti, he captured the charm, culture and languid grace of the natives in oils. You won’t find his paintings here, but the original models still call this piece of French Polynesia home. This seven-night itinerary is perfect for those who want a core Polynesian experience.

Begin your journey to paradise in the capital of Tahiti, the largest and most populated of the French Polynesian islands. Call on Raiatea and its reef-bound lagoon and Taha’a, its companion island, where you’ll enjoy a full day of exploration. Then sail to the magical island of Bora Bora, and her siren sister, Moorea. Covered in an abundance of fresh fruits and flowers, spectacular mountain peaks, peaceful multi-hued lagoons and palm-fringed beaches – Moorea’s awesome beauty is unsurpassed.

Enjoy meals at leisure at one of three stellar onboard restaurants. At each meal select wines are generously poured, compliments of the house. At L’Etoile, enjoy fine French cuisine with a Polynesian accent amid the classic furnishings and fluted shell lighting reminiscent of one of the refined dining establishments in Paris. Here delectable cuisine is artfully presented and guests receive the most diligent attention. Greet the sun with a buffet breakfast at Le Grill. Or enjoy lunch by the pool with a choice of grilled favourites, salads and fresh tropical fruits. At night Le Grill is transformed into a cosy indoor/outdoor restaurant serving grilled specialities in a more casual atmosphere. La Veranda’s floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor and alfresco seating, and refined atmosphere make it the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and lunch.
