The
Best Way To See It All
Princess caters to those seeking
a complete escape from the stressful
routine of daily life by being
the consummate host in the world's
most beautiful settings. A cruisetour
combines a cruise with a multi-night
land tour to inland destinations
that the ship can't reach.
Papeete
is the capital of Tahiti, French
Polynesia's largest and most
well-known island. It is also
the urban center of French Polynesia
and the only sizeable city in
French Polynesia. But its claim
to fame is that it is where
Paul Gauguin found a life's
work of inspiration. Visit the
home and museum of this 19th-century
painter. Explore the idyllic
beaches and coves. Or shop for
Tahitian souvenirs, such as
the famous Tahitian Vanilla
or their exotic black pearls.
Immortalized
by Gauguin's paintings, Tahiti
is much more than an island,
it's a state of mind. Papeete,
capital of Tahiti, is the chief
port and trading center. It's
also a provocatuer luring people
to her shores. Today the island
is a charming blend of Polynesian
"joie de vivre" and
Gallic sophistication. But venture
out from Papeete, and you'll
find a landscape of rugged mountains,
lush rain forests, cascading
waterfalls and deserted beaches. |
