THE MOST DELUXE SMALL SHIP CRUISING FRENCH POLYNESIA

Dear Tufts Travelers: The idyllic islands of Tahiti, Raiatea, Taha’a, Bora Bora and Moorea have brought travelers to their shores for centuries. Created by volcanic activity and sculpted by waves and wind over millennia, this earthly paradise is yours to enjoy during this nine night land/sea sojourn with two nights in Papeete, Tahiti, and seven nights aboard the Five-Star M.S. PAUL GAUGUIN. Cultural enrichment abounds in the natural environment of French Polynesia. During our stay on Tahiti, we will have the opportunity to observe, snorkel, and swim with extraordinary marine and bird life. We will take an exclusive Paul Gauguin excursion to the west coast of the island to explore the artist’s sites préférés, including the grotto where he swam and the museum dedicated to his original works. An onboard naturalist will host a variety of talks and demonstrations about the islands’ history and cultural heritage throughout the cruise. The quintessential camaraderie among alumni, the exceptional value that includes accommodations, meals and the convenience of unpacking only once, combined with a magical destination, will make this program sell out quickly. Limited space in different cabin categories and Early Bookings Savings of $1,000 per person through July 15, 2011, makes early reservations essential. Please call the Tufts representative at Gohagan & Company. (1-800-922-3088) to book a spot and for details about the optional extension to Bora Bora and Moorea. Cheers!

Usha Nand Sellers, Ed.D Director, Tufts Travel-Learn Program P.S. We are sharing this journey with a number of our sister institutions. For our updated itineraries, visit our website at: www.tuftstravellearn.org.

Society slands Tahiti, “Queen of the Pacific,” and her sisters—Raiatea, Taha’a, Bora Bora and Moorea—have had an irresistible appeal ever since Captain James Cook landed here in 1769. This tropical paradise has captivated explorers and mariners, artists and writers alike—Captain Cook returned twice more, master Impressionist Paul Gauguin abandoned his family and career in France to embrace the seductive lifestyle of Polynesia, and even historic H.M.S.

Bustling, cosmopolitan Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia and the gateway to the treasures of the South Pacific, has extended a hospitable welcome to visitors since its founding as a missionary settlement in 1824. Located on a natural harbor cooled by trade winds, Papeete enjoys one of the finest natural settings in the South Pacific, set against a backdrop of verdant, forest-clad peaks. Its tropical ambiance is complemented by the charm and diversity of its inhabitants, a vibrant blend of native Tahitian, French and Chinese. During the exclusive excursion along Papeete’s west coast, visit the PAUL GAUGUIN MUSEUM to see original works, including rarely seen sketches and block prints; and tour the MUSEUM OF TAHITI AND HER ISLANDS, which showcases significant archaeological finds, the island’s geology and its flora and fauna.

Bora Bora Called “the most beautiful island in the world” by author James A. Michener, Bora Bora—“the first born” in Tahitian—is the proverbial vision of a South Seas paradise. Its distinctive black basalt peak is cloaked in a lush tropical forest and silhouetted against turquoise lagoon waters, where a coral reef and an outlying fringe of motu teem with multicolored fish. Bora Bora was settled by adventurous Polynesian mariners in the 10th century A.D., and the islanders have preserved the ways of their forebears and still wear the traditional colorfully hand-dyed pareo or a sarong. In Bora Bora’s forested interior, villagers cultivate breadfruit, coconuts and taro, and ruins of stone marae preserve the legacy of ancestral Polynesian deities.
