French Polynesia is graced with 118 enchanting islands and atolls and countless motus, each with its own distinct beauty, atmosphere, and myth.
One of the most romantic islands is Bora Bora, widely considered one of the world's fairy-tale honeymoon destinations and is a port on Paul Gauguin Cruises 7- to 14-night itineraries in Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific.
The unparalleled beauty of this setting has inspired passion for thousands of years. Bora Bora's lush Mt. Otemanu with its soaring volcanic peak towers in the distance over white-sand beaches and dreamy lagoons.
