Kids World

Paul Gauguin Cruises offers a unique program for children on select voyages of the m/s Paul Gauguin.

Under the guidance of expert Ocean Futures Society naturalists, your children will enjoy a suite of onboard activities and daily excursions that reveal the natural wonders and rich culture of Polynesia both on land and in the sea. Some of the activities that may be included in the program are lectures, day and night snorkeling, swimming with rays and sharks, onboard games and activities, cycling, rainforest hikes, and sustainable living lessons.

Another show might feature a guest Polynesian troupe offering a thrilling performance of ote'a—a complex line dance accompanied by drums telling the ancestral legends of the Polynesian people. On other nights, you might marvel at the skill of a pianist … tap your foot to a rock band … or hum along to familiar tunes performed by a veteran of Broadway. The selection of entertainment is sure to make every evening a pleasure!
