take your sweetie to tahiti

If you’re following us on social media this week, you’ll know that we’re in French Polynesia, sailing with Paul Gauguin Cruises, one of our luxury cruise partners. And we have to say — it’s hard to think of a better way to experience paradise.

We’re sailing this week aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, and let us tell you—it’s every bit as magical as you imagine. With more than 25 years of experience cruising the islands of Tahiti and French Polynesia, Paul Gauguin Cruises really knows this region, and we’re seeing firsthand why a small-ship journey is the best way to explore these postcard-perfect islands. Each day brings a new lagoon to swim in, a new culture to discover, and each evening we’re treated to a spectacular South Pacific sunset from the deck (or our stateroom balcony!).

What makes the Paul Gauguin stand out is its intimacy—only 330 guests on board—paired with incredible service and authentic Polynesian experiences. We’re loving spending time with Les Gauguins and Gauguines, the cultural ambassadors who bring French Polynesia to life through dance, music, crafts, and storytelling. Between kayaking straight from the ship’s water-sports marina, lingering over world-class dining, and discovering quiet corners on deck, it feels like our own floating paradise.

We’ll be sharing highlights from our journey all week long, so if you want a peek at what it’s really like to sail through Tahiti and the Society Islands, make sure you’re following us on social media. Trust us—you won’t want to miss these views!
