Paul Gauguin Cruises Moana Explorer Program, a complimentary interactive program to encourage the discovery and value of the wonders around the world, will offer 21 summer and holiday sailings in 2023 and 2024!

Geared toward children and teens, the program welcomes participation from the whole family to create bonding moments that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.”
