PONANT Explorations recently hosted a group of trade partners from across the APAC region, including Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, on a 13-night famil trip through Indonesia.
The cohort sailed the ‘Sacred Temples and Natural Sanctuaries’ itinerary from Singapore to Darwin aboard the newly refurbished MS Paul Gauguin operated by Ponant’s sister brand, Paul Gauguin Cruises.
Coinciding with the ship’s return to service on 01 Apr following a seven-week, multi-million dollar drydock in Singapore (CW 08 Apr), the famil was an opportunity for the trade partners to experience the vessel’s refreshed features, along with immersive local encounters.
Highlights included a visit to the Borobudur Temple, a traditional dance welcome in Surabaya and even a Tahitian dance class with the on board performers.
After the group disembarked, MS Paul Gauguin made a 24-hour call in Darwin yesterday before continuing her journey back to French Polynesia. JM
