Luxury cruise line Paul Gauguin Cruises, which consists of only one ship, the m/s Paul Gauguin, operates principally in French Polynesia and even owns an islet in the region: Motu Mahana. Motu Mahana is a very small, but beautiful, uninhabited island in the archipelago of the Society Islands, which the m/s Paul Gauguin visits frequently. The m/s Paul Gauguin cannot dock at Motu Mahana so guests are transported from the ship to the island via tenders. Once on the island for the day, guests can take advantage of the beach loungers and umbrellas to relax, and partake in a variety of activities, including kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, beach volleyball, and even a pareo-tying demonstration. During their time on Motu Mahana, guests enjoy a barbecue meal and refreshments from floating bars throughout the day. All the activities are included in the cruise fare, except for the overwater massage which comes at an additional fee.
