Paul Gauguin Cruise: Hinerava Tahitian Pearls

Cruise guests sailing onboard the m/s Paul Gauguin can purchase Hinerava Tahitian Pearl designs from Kelly Hinerava Bailey.

Sailing on Paul Gauguin Cruises offers cruise guests  five-star service, comfort and luxury while sailing in Tahiti and French Polynesia. Although the scenery takes center-stage, visitors on Paul Gauguin have a lot to look forward to. One facet of the Paul Gauguin cruise experience is total immersion in the the local culture, which includes lessons abou the  Tahitian Pearl.

For those cruise guests that have a love for the beauty of the Tahitian Pearl, the luxury line is proud to present Hinerava (meaning Tahitian Beauty).

Designer Kelly Hinerava Bailey, who was raised in Tahiti started her company Hinerava in early 2011. Since then she has created many island-vintage-inspired creations using Tahitian pearls. She is gaining attention for her “island-chic”   Tahitian Black Pearl designs.

Cruise guests sailing on Paul Gauguin can purchase her jewelry onboard.

Tahitian pearls are some of the most exotic and desired pearls in the world. Hinerava strives to bring the delicacy and elegance of the Tahitian Black Pearl to each unique and original creation.  The island-vintage inspired jewelry is exquisitely sophisticated yet casual enough for everyday wear, an impression the artist terms as “island-chic”.

What’s buzzing at Paul Gauguin Cruises?

Come discover what is buzzing at Paul Gauguin cruises in the South Pacific.

New itineraries mean more of the South Pacific

The m/s Paul Gauguin offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort and luxury.

Culinary sailings with Michelin-starred Chef Jean-Pierre Vigato and Cousteau sailings with Jean-Michel Cousteau are always a crowd favorite with Paul Gauguin cruise visitors.

In addition to these popular sailings, Paul Gauguin Cruises said its 332-passenger ship; the Paul Gauguin will offer three new itineraries.

For those looking for something new and different, the South Pacific Discovery is a 20-night hotel-and-cruise journey to Australia, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga and the Cook & Society Islands departing Jan. 23, 2012.

Another fun cruise will take place during whale season that will depart on Sept 1 to Rurutu, the “Island of Whales.”

Rounding out the new 2012 Paul Gauguin cruise itineraries is the Fiji, Tonga, Cook & Society Islands voyage, which sets sail on either   Oct. 27, and Nov. 20.

Is 2012 your year to try an exotic cruise on Paul Gauguin?

Fun facts about the Pacific Ocean

from World Info Zone Pacific Ocean Facts

  • The last ocean discovered by Europeans, the first European to see the Pacific was the Spanish explorer Balboa, on 25 September 1513.
  • The name “Pacific” means peaceful and comes from the fact the early European explorer, Magellan, found its winds and climate more gentle that those of other oceans.
  • The Pacific makes up half the water surface of the Earth.
  • The Pacific is the largest of the world’s oceans, its area is greater than that of all the world’s land masses combined.
  • The Pacific’s coral islands, called atolls, are formed on the top of submerged volcanoes by coral polyps. Because the coral grows on the ocean side and dies in the centre, the island grows outwards in a ring shape.
  • The Pacific’s Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia, is the world’s longest reef.

Paul Gauguin Cruises sails around the areas of Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacific. This luxury cruise line is amazing and will delight family cruisers ready to fly to Tahiti for a cruise of a lifetime.  A family of marine lovers will take special note of the Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program offered by Paul Gauguin Cruises.

The Ambassadors of the Environment youth program created by Jean-Michel Cousteau is for young people aged 9 to 19.  The program introduces young travelers to the extraordinary natural wonders of French Polynesia.  Young cruisers receive direct, hands-on, interactive experiences with knowledge of marine and island ecosystems. Young Ambassadors will explore coral reefs, hike rainforest trails and visit marae (ancient Polynesian temples). They’ll learn how black pearls and vanilla are cultivated, how volcanic islands become coral atolls, and how to paddle an outrigger canoe. Parents are encouraged to join children on eco-excursions and other activities aboard and ashore.

Jean-Michel Cousteau, environmental advocate and son of the legendary Jacques Cousteau, is dedicated to the preservation of our global oceans. His program inspires and educates people throughout the world to act responsibly for their protection, documenting the critical connection between humanity and nature, and celebrating the ocean’s vital importance to the survival of all life on our planet.  This program is available on all Paul Gauguin cruises from June through August 2010 and on select holiday cruises for a nominal fee of $269 per child.

For those interested in a unique experience there is a special sailing with Jean-Michel Cousteau on the May 22, 2010 sailing to Fiji, Tonga, Cook and Society Islands  As the special guest, he will offer a series of lectures with videos of his work in the world’s oceans, as well as accompany several dives from the ship.

This special program is a once in a lifetime family cruise dream.  For any questions, please contact Cruise Buzz at Cruise Holidays of Mission Viejo 888-203-3012.
