Two luxury cruises from Paul Gauguin Cruises will have you wanting to trade in your white Christmas for a white-sand Christmas. Departing December 22 and December 29, 2021, the seven-day voyages depart from Tahiti on the m/s Paul Gauguin, the cruise line's small-sized flagship complete with spacious suites and staterooms, three dining venues and a full-service spa.
Both itineraries include two stops exclusively available to guests of Paul Gauguin cruises — Motu Mahana islet and a private beach in Bora Bora. Guests will also stay overnight in Moorea to experience its verdant peaks and crystalline water.

Check out Paul Gauguin Cruises on Instagram for awe-inspiring images of real voyages in Tahiti, French Polynesia, Fiji and the South Pacific.
The onboard Moana Explorer Program allows kids (and parents) to engage in hands-on interactive learning about nature through excursions, activities and crafts. Through a variety of naturalist-led beach excursions, science activities, crafts, and games, your family will learn new appreciation for this stunningly beautiful part of the world.

When it's time to eat, choose your venue — all meals and drinks (even select wine, beer and spirits) are included in cabin fare.
Speaking of inclusions, you'll be surprised by what you get for the cruises' $6,645 price tag: Beside meals and drinks, the sailings also include airfare from Los Angeles, airport/pier transfers, free room service, shipboard entertainment, onboard gratuities and access to a pool, a fitness center, a casino and a disco/lounge.

The smaller ship size allows it to stop in ports not accessible by massive vessels. The cruise line was recently named as the "#1 Midsize-Ship Ocean Cruise Line" by readers in the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards for this year.
