All LGBT+ Polynesia Christmas Cruise (VACAYA)
Note: This vacation is currently on presale only. It will go on sale to the general public on Thursday November 12th.
Some Christmases happen around a tree.
This one happens under palm trees!
From December 16-27, 2028, VACAYA is taking over the beautiful m/s Paul Gauguin for an 11-night journey through the Cook Islands and Society Islands, sailing roundtrip from Papeete, Tahiti. Along the way, you’ll discover Huahine, Aitutaki, Rarotonga, Bora Bora, Taha’a, and Moorea, with two blissful days at sea and leisurely overnights in both Bora Bora and Moorea.
But the real magic of this adventure isn’t simply where you’re going. It’s who you’re sharing it with.
For so many in our community, family is something we build with intention. It’s the people who see us clearly, love us completely, show up consistently, and somehow know exactly when we need another cocktail. They’re our partners, best friends, exes who became family, neighbors who became siblings, and wonderful new people we haven’t even met yet.
This Christmas, VACAYA is bringing that entire idea of family together in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Come with your partner. Bring your besties. Rally the whole chosen-family group chat. Make it a true family affair and bring Mom, Pop, your brothers, sisters, or the relatives who’ve always shown up for you. Or arrive completely solo and let the VACAYA family welcome you in. Because once every restaurant, lounge, pool deck, and dance floor belongs to us, no one has to shrink themselves to fit the room. Whether it’s the family you were born into, the family you’ve chosen, or the family you’re about to find onboard, every version of family belongs here.
And just look at where you’ll be celebrating…
On Christmas Eve, you’ll spend the day on Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin’s private islet off Taha’a, where warm lagoons, a beach barbecue, watersports, Polynesian music, and cocktails from a floating bar replace the usual holiday hustle. Then, on Christmas Day, Moorea welcomes us with its soaring green peaks, brilliant blue lagoons, palm-fringed beaches, and an overnight stay that gives us all the time we need to soak it all in.
No cooking. No cleaning. No winter coat. No schedule you didn’t choose.
Just sunshine, saltwater, laughter, music, beautiful meals, festive surprises, and eleven unforgettable nights with the people who make life brighter.
Santa can keep the sleigh. VACAYAs has The Gauguin!
VACAYA ius releasing this extraordinary holiday adventure more than two years in advance for one very important reason – to make paradise easier to reach. With extra time to spread the cost across VACAYA’s interest-free monthly payment plan, your payments can be smaller and more manageable, giving more Vacayans the opportunity to experience a truly luxurious Christmas in French Polynesia. It’s more time to plan, more time to save, and more time to get excited about celebrating the holidays with your chosen family.
THE HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

WHY THIS CHRISTMAS HITS DIFFERENT
THE FAMILY YOU CHOOSE
A HOLIDAY WITH ZERO HOSTING STRESS
BORA BORA AFTER DARK
Bora Bora is spectacular at any hour, but an overnight lets us experience something most visitors never do: watch the day-trippers leave, see Mount Otemanu change color in the evening light, and enjoy the island and lagoon without watching the clock. You arrive at 8am on December 22 and don’t sail until 11pm the following night. That’s nearly two full days to swim, snorkel, explore, unwind, and discover whether Bora Bora somehow looks even better at sunset. Spoiler alert: it does. Pro Tip: This is a great chance to stay overnight off the ship in an over-the-water bungalow!

Itinerary
SATURDAY 16 DECEMBER 2028
PAPEETE, TAHITI 18°S 150°W
Departure: 6:30pm
Welcome to paradise! Papeete is the lively capital of French Polynesia and the gateway to our holiday adventure. Arrive early and explore the colorful Le Marché, browse Tahitian pearl jewelry and local crafts, stroll the waterfront, or sample dinner from the city’s popular roulottes before boarding. Then step aboard m/s Paul Gauguin, meet the people who’ll become your holiday family, raise the first of many glasses, and sail into the warm South Pacific. Christmas officially begins now!
SUNDAY 17 DECEMBER 2028
Arrival: 8am
Departure: 4pmThe first island is lush, laid-back, deeply historic Huahine. Often described as one of French Polynesia’s more secluded treasures, Huahine combines rainforest-covered terrain, clear lagoons, quiet villages, and some of the region’s best-preserved archaeological sites. Explore the ancient marae around Maeva, visit the easygoing waterfront town of Fare, encounter the island’s famous blue-eyed eels, or head straight for the lagoon with your snorkel. Huahine doesn’t need to shout for attention. It simply gets under your skin.
MONDAY 18 DECEMBER 2028
AT SEA
No port. No pressure. Sleep late. Order breakfast to your room. Claim a pool lounger. Join a VACAYA activity. Visit the spa. Make lunch last two hours. Meet someone new. Take an extremely serious afternoon nap. Today is your chance to settle into the ship, the community, and the wonderfully uncomplicated rhythm of life in the South Pacific. Your only real responsibility is remembering where you left your sunglasses.
TUESDAY 19 DECEMBER 2028
Arrival: 8am
Departure: 6pmAitutaki’s lagoon is the sort of place that makes even heavily edited travel photography look strangely inadequate. Its luminous turquoise water is surrounded by palm-shaded beaches and dotted with postcard-perfect motus. Spend the day swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or cruising across the lagoon toward One Foot Island. On land, explore quiet Arutanga, discover the island’s Polynesian traditions, or climb Maunga Pu for sweeping views across the reef and lagoon. You may run out of adjectives, but your camera won’t run out of work.
WEDNESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2028
Arrival: 7am
Departure: 5pmRarotonga may be the hub of the Cook Islands, but it remains refreshingly unspoiled. In fact, local tradition keeps every building lower than the tallest coconut tree. Browse the market and shops of Avarua, circle the island by scooter or vehicle, relax along the crystalline waters of Muri Beach, snorkel in the Aroa Marine Reserve, or head into the lush interior, where steep volcanic peaks rise above largely untouched jungle. Rarotonga is equal parts beach day, cultural discovery, and tropical adventure. Choose wisely. Or don’t choose at all and sample everything.
THURSDAY 21 DECEMBER 21, 2028
AT SEA
Consider today the calm before your spectacular Christmas stretch. Recharge beside the pool. Book a treatment. Settle in for a beautiful lunch. Join the fun with your fellow Vacayans. Or disappear onto your balcony and watch the South Pacific roll past with absolutely nowhere else you need to be. Tomorrow, Bora Bora begins. You’ll want to be rested.
FRIDAY 22 DECEMBER 2028
Arrival: 8am
OvernightThere are famous islands. And then there’s Bora Bora. Mount Otemanu rises dramatically above one of the world’s most celebrated lagoons, surrounded by white-sand beaches, coral gardens, and water in shades of blue that don’t seem entirely legal. Spend the day snorkeling, diving, cruising the lagoon, meeting rays and tropical fish, relaxing at Paul Gauguin’s private beach when conditions allow, or simply finding the perfect view and refusing to leave it. Tonight, the ship remains in Bora Bora. No hurried farewell. No last tender panic. Just sunset, stars, and nowhere else to be.
SATURDAY 23 DECEMBER 2028
Overnight
Departure: 11pmBB round two. Head back onto the lagoon, discover a different corner of the island, spend another afternoon at the beach, or stay aboard and admire Mount Otemanu from the pool deck. Because you don’t sail until 11pm, there’s time for one more swim, one more sunset, one more cocktail, and one unforgettable evening beneath the Bora Bora sky. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. And somehow, this journey’s still getting better.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2028
Arrival: 8am
Departure: 5pmOkay, this is almost absurdly good. You’ll be spending Christmas Eve on Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin’s own private islet in the lagoon of Taha’a. Swim in warm, clear water. Snorkel among tropical fish. Paddle across the lagoon. Relax on the beach. Watch demonstrations of Polynesian crafts. Enjoy music beneath the palms. Feast on a barbecue lunch. Then swim over to the floating bar and order something suitably festive. By late afternoon, we’ll return to the ship and settle in for a magical Christmas Eve night surrounded by our chosen family. No chimney. No snow. No problem. Have yourself a very merry motu!
MONDAY 25 DECEMBER 2028
Arrival: 8am
OvernightChristmas morning brings us Moorea. The island welcomes Vacayans with soaring emerald mountains, bright lagoons, fragrant tropical fruit, palm-fringed beaches, and scenery that seems designed to stop conversations mid-sentence. Head out on the water. Look for dolphins with a marine expert. Visit Belvedere Lookout for views across Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. Explore tropical gardens and fruit farms. Find a beach. Or remain onboard and enjoy a slow, beautiful Christmas Day with the people you love. Because you’re staying overnight, there’s nothing to rush. The greatest gift today is time. Time together. Time in paradise. Time to celebrate exactly as we choose. Merry Christmas, Vacayans!
TUESDAY 26 DECEMBER 2028
Overnight
Departure: 5pmConsider this Moorea’s bonus present. Use your second day to explore whatever you missed on Christmas. Hike toward the panoramic views of Magic Mountain, visit a local distillery or agricultural school, head back onto the lagoon, or find one final beach and let the afternoon drift away. At 5pm, we’ll sail toward Tahiti as Moorea’s mountains fade into the distance. It’sy our final night together with the VACAYA group so make the dinner long, the hugs tight, and the dance floor count.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2028
Arrival: 6amYou return to Papeete early this morning, bringing eleven extraordinary nights to a close.You may be leaving the ship with a tan, several thousand photos, a phone full of new contacts, and at least one story that should probably remain within the VACAYA family. But the real souvenir is the family itself. The friends you brought. The friends you found. And the Christmas you’ll be talking about for years. PARADISE WAS THE DESTINATION. TOGETHER WAS THE GIFT.
Ship
THE SHIP WAS BUILT FOR PARADISE
The m/s Paul Gauguin wasn’t merely sent to the South Pacific. She was designed for it.
Purpose-built to navigate the shallow seas and intimate ports of French Polynesia, The Gauguin can sail closer to the islands and access places larger cruise ships simply can’t. Her shallow draft brings the landscape into view, turning the ship into something that feels less like a floating city and more like a beautiful overwater boutique hotel that changes islands while you sleep.
Refurbished in 2025, the ship welcomes 330 guests across 165 oceanview staterooms and suites. Nearly 70% feature private balconies, allowing most Vacayans to step outside and begin every morning with warm air, blue water, and the growing suspicion that real life’s been doing mornings incorrectly.
She’s luxurious without feeling stiff.
Intimate without feeling sleepy.
Elegant without asking you to pack a tuxedo.
And for eleven nights, she’s all yours!
RESTAURANTS, BARS, & OTHER VENUES
SMALL SHIP. BIG VACAYA ENERGY.
AN OVERWATER BUNGALOW THAT MOVES
EAT BEAUTIFULLY
STEP STRAIGHT INTO THE SEA
POLYNESIAN FROM THE INSIDE OUT
POOL. SPA. REPEAT.
DRESS UP. DON’T STRESS OUT.
BUTLER? YES, PLEASE.

TRIP INSURANCE: GET IT!
There’s one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At Purple Light Vacations and at VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why VACAYA took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into our online booking process.
Nothing breaks VACAYA’s hearts more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, we’re unable to break our Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because to maintain their Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, they must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.
We recommend a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.
So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️

Jonathan has gone out of his way each time we have used Purple Light Vacations! We always know we will get the best price and best location on a ship or at a hotel. Our favorite part is the destination guides that he provides so we can know the best of each city.
Purple Light Vacations handled our two-week trip to France, including Paris, Normandy and Provence. It was a pleasure working with them and they reflected professionalism, expertise and responsiveness at every step. They clearly understood our needs and preferences and put together a superb trip based on their keen experience and knowledge. They were gracious and accommodating, and supported and checked in with us all along and made us feel very secure.
I was lucky enough to find Jonathan just by googling. He was very personable, friendly and professional. He was able to put our entire trip together in just a few days and checked on us every day of our trip to make sure we were satisfied. He is the best and only travel agent I will use going forward.
Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations has become our favorite Travel Agent. His attention to detail and his understanding of our preferences for travel is unprecedented. His knowledge of destinations around the world made our vacations spectacular. PLV gets my highest recommendation!
Jonathan Geen and Purple Light Vacations are beyond superior. Jonathan has planned two European vacations for my husband and I and we are thrilled with his knowledge of what to do, his research of beautiful places to stay, and his communication and planning leading up to and throughout the vacation itself. I encourage you to try Purple Light as your travel agent and see how much easier and richer your vacation experience can be.
Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
Finding an excellent travel agent today is extremely rare and we can honestly say, that Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations is an absolute gem of a find. He helped us find the best package deals for our trip when my husband and I were in a tough situation. We were impressed by the great deals he offered us. We are so grateful for all he has done for us and our travel plans. It certainly made our lives so much easier. My honest suggestion to anyone who needs a travel agent today is look no further! Book with Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations!We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
Thank you Jonathan for making my dream come true! Bora Bora has been on our mind for years; for its exotic and remote location you are required to pay high $$$$! I thought it wasn't definitely within our budget.I was over the moon when Jonathan proved me wrong and found us an amazing deal!
He made all our arrangements and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed right down to the time of our departure. During our trip everything was seamless! I couldn't ask for a better experience
My husband and I recently took a trip to Thailand on a vacation that was booked thru Purple Light. Southeast Asia was new to us, and we wanted a bit of extra help. We got a ton of extra help, for free! Purple Light was with us the whole way- from early stages of planning to the actual booking and throughout our travel. When we arrived to our hotel room, flat-out beat from travel, there was champagne on ice to greet us. Wow! We've used them before, and will absolutely use them from now on. I just can't recommend them highly enough to our family and friends.
My husband and I just came back from our 5 year anniversary trip to Cancun. We told Jonathan the dates we wanted, our budget and what sorts of things we were looking to do. He got right on it! Booked us airfare, an amazing all-inclusive resort, transportation to and from the airport (which I wouldn't have even thought of!) and even booked us a trip to Chichén-Itza. He even gave us some tips on what do and where to visit while we were there. Easiest trip we've ever taken! Purple Light will always and forever be my go-to for any traveling! Will definitely be referring them to any of my friends and family
We love Purple Light Vacations. We have used them for quite a few trips and they always surpass our expectations. Jonathon is the absolute best. He takes care of all of the details and is very prompt in answering all of our questions. We will definitely use Purple Light Vacations for all of our traveling needs.
Purple Light has made planning several vacations easier for me. They worked out a family trip getting parents and siblings in from various places. More significantly, they helped us arrange two international vacations. After recommending Argentina to us, Jonathan took care of everything and it was probably our best vacation together ever. He also recommended the RSVP river boat cruise up the Danube from Budapest to Prague...wonderful trip! We've booked an Atlantis cruise through P.L. as well. Of course we could have booked on our own, but using Purple Light was so less stressful and provided...extra help and advice at no extra cost!
I used Jonathan and Purple Light to book a trip for my birthday celebration. He was very helpful and from the very first email contact to the end of the cruise Jonathan handled everything with excellence. His communication during the booking process to the day of starting the trip was very thorough and he missed no details. I will definitely be using Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations again for my future vacation and travel needs.
Jonathan of Purple Light Vacations guided us through the entire process to book our Atlantis Caribbean cruise at no additional charge to us. He kept us informed on all the details of the cruise and events happening on/off the boat. Upon arrival on the ship, a bottle of Merlot was waiting for us. Upon disembarkation, an email was waiting for us to see how we enjoyed the cruise as well as a card in the mail to welcome us home. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hold Purple Light Vacations as the gold standard for high quality travel services.
Purple Light has booked vacations for us at Disneyland, Aruba, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Bahamas, Brazil and two cruises and all this since January 2016. We are discerning frequent travelers with a budget in mind. Working with Purple Light gives us the confidence to keep planning more travel!
Normally I research and book hotels on my own. This year, however, I was extremely busy at work and I had no time to do this, so I reached out to Purple Light for their help in planning a trip to the Greek islands, and am glad I did! Purple Light recommended excellent hotels that I probably would not have found on my own, and they even provided helpful city island overviews that were referenced often. In addition, they helped fill in some of our time with tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Purple Light and plan to use them again for my next trip!
We used Purple Light when we booked our Atlantis P.V. Mexico Resort Vacation. With no additional cost to us, Purple Light made what would have been a good vacation...an amazing vacation. They handled everything (airline, shuttles, etc.). Additionally, they provided excellent insight on what to expect on our vacation and what to see and what to avoid. I give them my highest recommendation.
Thank you Purple Light Vacations, and to Jonathan especially. Jonathan helped us plan an amazing Cuba Cruise for my bachelorette trip. It is not easy to book a trip for a large group including all of the flights, rooming/accommodations and excursions. Luckily, we just proposed dates, destinations in mind with a budget and Purple Light took care of the rest. Jonathan researched the options, made suggestions and provided us with great advice. He was so patient and informative throughout our planning process, and really made sure that everything worked out well.
After such a great experience, we also asked Purple Light in helping us plan a cruise for our parents too. Our parents were very happy and impressed with the entire trip. Thank you!!
We used Purple Light Vacations to help us book our hotel rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm recently during a Baltic cruise. I had previously booked room through an online travel website but I'm glad I decided to go with Jonathan instead, or our hotel choices would have been in the wrong area. You can trust Purple Light Vacations to make sure you have a wonderful, surprise free vacation!
I took a short weekend vacation to Catalina Island with a friend and reached out to Purple Light and was amazed how quick they got me a hotel room and a list of great things to do! They went above and beyond!
I don't think I will take a trip without them!!
Thanks Jonathan and Purple Light!
We were in New Orleans for Southern Decadence. Purple Light Vacations recommended a spectacular hotel right in the area we were interested in staying. We have also traveled to Italy, France, and Barcelona where each of their recommendations was excellent! Everything went exactly as planned.
Jonathan and Purple Light are great! Had them manage our reservations for a couple of Atlantis cruises and always been incredibly responsive and on top of things
I used Purple Light's Copenhagen overview to plan for restaurants and get a sense of must-see sights in the city. The suggestions were perfect and I don't want to take another trip without consulting Purple Light before I travel. Recommended for a first-class vacation that leaves you free to spend your time enjoying the city rather than struggling to navigate it!
