These islands are surrounded by the most
beautiful waters in the world. Cruising may be the most complete way to
experience the best of both worlds. Luxuriate in a
comfortable suite that moves with you as you travel the islands, and visit
many locations on the islands that "stationary" visitors often
miss. From deluxe accommodations aboard the magnificent new m/s Paul
Gauguin to your private cabin on board a 57-ft. catamaran you'll find the
perfect at-sea adventure in paradise. Any way you choose you'll enjoy a
new experience in travel as you glide over the beautiful blue waters of
Polynesia.
Archipels
Shared-Yacht Cruising
We've all dreamed of sailing vacations. But for most of us, hiring a yacht
usually means rounding up a few shipmates, to share the cost. And that's
never as easy as it sounds. Thankfully, someone has come up with a
beautiful solution. We call it "shared-yacht" cruising. Unlike a
bare-boat charter, you have an experienced crew. The yacht is shared with
fellow guests, but no more than eight of you. You'll sail aboard the new,
deluxe Archipels, a 57 ft. catamaran with almost 1,600 sq. ft. of usable
space. The yacht's four cabins feature private facilities.
Aranui
Freighter Cruise
The Aranui is the perfect seagoing
adventure for the open-minded traveler ready to experience a whole new
mode of travel. Setting out from Tahiti, the Aranui ventures to the remote
Marquesas. Virtually unchanged since they were first viewed by the
European discoverers, it is here that Gauguin lived out the last years of
his life. The Aranui is the best means, outside of chartering your own
boat, to see so many distant islands in such vivid detail. An unusual idea?
Certainly. But a very successful one. With no advertising budget, the
Aranui is often booked long in advance due to the glowing write-ups it has
received in the New York Times, Grands Reportages, Paris Match, and other
international press.
Haumana Cruises
This 110 foot, twin hulled cruiseship
offers private yachtlike ambiance as it cruises the lagoons and islands in
absolute comfort. Featuring 21 deluxe outside air conditioned cabins- each
one with Mini bar, hairdryer, TV, and VCR. Spezializing in the islands of
Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora, the Haumana Cruise offers 3 and 4 day
speciality cruises.
