Room Sharing Program

 
     
  Those traveling solo wishing to share a cabin at double occupancy rates may request a roommate. TravelQuest does not arbitrarily assign roommates, but instead will assist by providing contact information so that participants can determine suitability. If however, a suitable roommate is not available, the single supplement will apply.

  Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program  
     
  Created by explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society, Ambassadors of the Environment is a unique, groundbreaking program that introduces young travelers to the extraordinary natural wonders of French Polynesia. The program aims to give young participants aged 9 to 17 direct, hands-on, interactive experience 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. This program is on our eclipse cruise for a nominal fee of $269 per child.  
     
  Air Travel to Tahiti & Add-on Hotel Packages  
     
  Paul Gauguin Cruises’ special air/sea program and pre- and post-cruise add-on hotel packages will assure your experience is customized as you wish. Details and fares will be provided in late 2009. Low cost add-on airfares to Tahiti for roundtrip Economy Class travel are available from many US and Canada gateways through Paul Gauguin Cruises’ Air & Sea program. This program offers guests the opportunity to upgrade to First or Business class where available. Guests may request an upgrade on the domestic portion of the itinerary for an additional fee to be determined at the time of booking. All carriers and routing are at the discretion of Paul Gauguin Cruises. Requests for specific routing and/or carrier may result in an additional charge. Upgrades may not always be available. Air rates are subject to change until ticketed.

  A Note About Fuel  
     
  In the uncertain, often volatile oil market of late, it is difficult to predict fuel costs over the long term, and more specifically, at the time of the voyage. Our prices are based upon the prevailing fuel rates at the time of the brochure printing, which is well in advance of departure.  While we will do everything possible to maintain our prices, if fuel prices increase significantly at or before the time of the voyage, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge.
