Paul Gauguin Cruises has unfurled the enchanting tapestry of its 2025 Moana Explorer Program. Aboard the distinguished MS Paul Gauguin, this curated symphony of 11 dedicated summer and holiday sailings beckons the younger connoisseurs of wanderlust.
Specially crafted for the refined palates of children aged seven to 15, the complementary program blossoms in harmony with Te mana o te moana – a revered South Pacific marine education and conservation foundation.
A choreography of hands-on, interactive activities, both on the vessel and ashore, unfolds, showcasing the natural wonders and distinctive cultures of the region with artful finesse.
In the eloquent words of Deb Corbett, the maestro directing the ballet of Sales and Marketing in Asia Pacific, the pride swells at the fifth-year milestone in exclusive partnership with Te mana o te moana.

This program transcends the ordinary cadence of children’s programs, weaving indelible memories from enriched odysseys across the South Pacific – memories destined to be cradled in the hearts of the young travellers for a lifetime.
Each odyssey resonates with a melange of naturalist-led island and beach excursions, scientific revelries, artistic pursuits, playful diversions, and a spectrum of other adventures.
Depending on the maritime odyssey’s nuanced itinerary, patrons may delve into the subaquatic realms, conduct aqueous experiments, fashion naturalistic jewellery, partake in treasure hunts, unravel the tapestry of Tahitian culture, discover island legends and geology, and even engage in the artistic alchemy of designing a Polynesian tattoo, among a plethora of enthralling possibilities.
The Moana Explorer program, a sonnet of sophistication, demands the imprimatur of reservation at the time of booking.
Offered bilingually, in the poetic nuances of both English and French, this avant-garde program presently graces select 2024 itineraries and the recently unveiled 2025 sailings, seamlessly embedded within the sinuous folds of Paul Gauguin Cruises’ all-encompassing, all-inclusive ethos.
In an effusion of shared enthusiasm, Hélène Duran, the custodian of affairs at Te mana o te moana, extols the continuation of their symphony with Paul Gauguin Cruises into the tapestry of 2025.
The profound bond is underscored by a shared commitment to the preservation of the idyllic ethos – the culture, fauna, and wilderness of French Polynesia. It is an embodiment of a poignant acknowledgment that today’s progeny stand as the stewards of tomorrow’s planetary legacy.
