All aboard for Tahiti

The R Marine Bluewater Club’s first international escorted tour to the glorious tropical islands of Tahiti is planned for June 2009 with limited places available.

The 10-day holiday begins with a flight from Australia to Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, where you will receive a warm Tahitian flower lei welcome before being transferred to the InterContinental Hotel Tahiti. After a leisure day to explore and shop and rest, you can immerse yourself in the tropical splendour and luxury aboard the exquisite a 330-guest Paul Gauguin cruise ship for a voyage around Tahiti and her magical islands. Every cabin has ocean view, more than half of them with balconies. There’s a choice of two restaurants and complimentary 24-hour room service.

Imagine spending two days in Bora Bora, the most beautiful island in the world according to James Michener. You can take a 4x4 jeep tour into less accessible areas of the island, or see Bora Bora the way everyone should – by scenic helicopter flight. Scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities abound, and don’t forget to enjoy a cocktail at famous Bloody Mary’s!

Then there are two days in spectacular Moorea; a day in Raiatea discovering the secrets of the black pearl; and a day on your very own private island soaking up the sun and swimming in the crystal clear waters of a calm lagoon.

On board the Paul Gauguin, your all-inclusive environment includes complimentary beverages, with select wine and spirits served throughout the ship. Indulge your every whim with award-winning fine dining, colourful entertainment, spa services by renowned Carita of Paris, a watersports platform with all manner of marine activities, and luxury accommodations.
