A CRUISE TO REMEMBER

Paul Gauguin Cruises will be offering an 11-night Australs & Society Islands cruise aboard the Paul Gauguin in the fall of 2013. The cruise will provide passengers with two opportunities to do some whale watching — in Moorea in the Society Islands and in Rurutu, an island in the rarely visited Australs chain. Marine biologist, Dr. Scott Baker; Cecile Gaspar, president of Te Mana O Te Moana, a nonprofit conservation organization; and oceanographer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau will be aboard to offer their expertise through a series of lectures during the voyage. The 11-night Australs & Society Islands sailing departs Sept. 21, 2013, from Papeete, Tahiti, and visits Huahine, Bora Bora, Tahaãa (Motu Mahana), Raiatea, and Moorea in the Society Islands along with Rurutu in the Australs Islands. Cruise fares start from $5,395 per person and include airfare from Los Angeles. Sail on over to http://www.pgcruises.com for complete details.
