This ship was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti, French

Polynesia and the South Pacific, visiting small ports that larger ships can’t reach and effortlessly

blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas. She offers an extension of the

informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort, and

luxury.

The atmosphere aboard radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. And the beloved

troupe of Gauguines - local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers -

add the unique personality of Tahiti to every sailing.
