Paul Gauguin Cruises has something for everyone, including younger guests. The cruise line recently unveiled the 2026 voyages for its Moana Explorer Program, a free program designed to help kids make the most of their time in Tahiti.
The program will be offered on 11 summer and holiday voyages aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin next year. For the sixth year, Paul Gauguin Cruises is partnering with Te mana o te moana, a South Pacific marine education and conservation foundation.
“It has been a privilege to partner with Paul Gauguin Cruises to help inspire the visions and interests of our youngest global citizens,” says Hélène Duran, general manager at Te mana o te moana. “We look forward to continuing to share the unique culture, wildlife, and wilderness of French Polynesia with the kids both on board and ashore.”
Through the program, kids ages six to 15 can enjoy hands-on, interactive activities that help them discover more about the world around them. For instance, they might hike to the top of a volcano one day, then learn about the impacts of water pollution the next. Other activities include snorkeling in lagoons, playing beach “Survivor games,” creating natural jewelry, conducting water experiments and embarking on treasure hunts.
The program is free. In addition, kids 17 and younger sail for free when traveling in the same suite or stateroom as their parents on all Paul Gauguin Cruises voyages.
The Moana Explorer Program is also available on six voyages in 2024 and 12 cruises in 2025.
“In partnership with Te mana o te moana, our Moana Explorer Program continues to be incredibly popular and we are thrilled to offer our young guests activities led by local naturalists that are both educational and fun,” says Susan Robison, general manager of sales and marketing for Paul Gauguin Cruises. “The result is one of the most deeply authentic experiences children can experience when exploring French Polynesia with Paul Gauguin Cruises.”
