Experiencing Tahiti, Fiji, the Cook Islands and other coveted destinations in the South Pacific has never been easier or more fun thanks to Paul Gauguin Cruises.

The award-winning luxury cruise line is offering a slew of exciting itineraries in 2019 that range from seven to 14 nights and include airfare from Los Angeles.

Consider the all-new Society Islands & Tahiti Iti voyage. The seven-night sailing aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin-or The Gauguin-will take guests to a mesmerizing region no other cruise line can offer in "Little Tahiti" (Tahiti Iti), bringing passengers up close to the wild coastline, ancient petroglyphs and temples, and authentic Polynesian culture.

Guests will venture off the beaten path to experience the sparsely populated island as few others have. They'll also spend a memorable day on Motu Mahana-an exclusive islet-while enjoying a delicious barbecue lunch and drinks sipped from coconuts.

What's more, the voyage features an overnight in Bora Bora, providing passengers ample time to explore the laid-back destination's unparalleled natural wonders.

The week-long sailing departs seven times next year, including on April 6, May 18, June 1, July 27, August 31, October 19 and December 14, 2019.

Indulge in more nature, history, and culture on the 14-night Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands sailing. This one-of-a-kind cruise includes a visit to the nature lover's paradise of Fakarava boasting rare birds, plants and crustaceans that guests can see from the island's beaches.

Passengers on this voyage will also experience the island of Hiva Oa, home to the largest stone sculptures in the Marquesas. The two-week cruise departs January 26 and November 23, 2019.

Prefer something in between, consider the 11-night Cook Islands & Society Islands itinerary featuring unbeatable sights such as the rugged terrain of Rarotonga and coral reef-lined lagoon of Aitutaki. Guests will also spend two long days in Bora Bora where they'll swim in a lagoon, get their heart pounding on an ATV adventure or enjoy a sunset sail.

Paul Gauguin Cruises' extraordinary Cook Islands & Society Islands sailing departs March 9, June 15, August 3 and November 2, 2019.

Right now, travelers can save as much as 50 percent on standard cruise fares with included airfare from Los Angeles on all sailings aboard The Gauguin.
