Singles Travel International is a vacation event company that plans singles events and markets our events at our expense to create a “singles only” experience. We do not allow guests to join the group unless the reservation has been made by STI. Our policy is firm for tours and cruises, as well as pre and post trip hotel stays. Members and friends that “show up” will not be allowed to participate.

We’ve already included all of your transportation in Tahiti.  We’ll pick you up at the airport and drop you off at the end of the cruise!

We have included roundtrip airfare between Los Angeles (LAX) and Papeete (PPT) only. If you prefer to do your own airfare, we’ll deduct $1,100 from your package price. Please bring this to our attention by adding your intention to the Order Notes field when you check out. Air preferences may not be changed after October 8, 2025 once ticketed.

Airfare to and from Los Angeles from your home airport is additional. Book according to the recommendations below.

February 19, 2026: Schedule your flight to depart after 1:00 p.m. from Los Angeles (included return flight from Papeete is currently scheduled to arrive in LAX at 9:45 AM on February 19).

Note: Our return flight from Papeete is currently scheduled to depart at 11:59 PM (subject to change) on February 18 and arrives in Los Angeles at 9:45 AM on February 19, so the actual length of the trip is 13 nights/14 days (last night on airplane).

You may need to submit these to the airline (not to Singles Travel International) to claim any credit allowed.

Our “Baby Boomer” vacations cater to singles in their 50s and 60s but you will often meet singles ranging anywhere from 45-75. We generally have a ratio of 60/40, women to men. As a travel club, matchmaking is not our focus. Ages listed on our page are not restricted. They are simply used as a guideline. We offer an opportunity for single travelers to see the world in the company of other singles and do not guarantee ratios or ages.

We recommend that you meet the members of the Singles Travel International Community online where you may view and interact with members via “Who’s Going” on every trip page. This is the best way to find out exactly who will be on your vacation.

Yes! Singles Travel International is the only singles vacation company that features a travel community where members may send messages to one another at any time. Once you make a reservation, you are invited to post messages on the trip chat, which is great for finding out more about your fellow travel companions, coordinating taxi shares, setting up tours and more. Your trip chat is accessible from the trip page. Ask your Singles Travel International Reservation Guide for assistance.

Our program for singles also includes live online events and virtual tours plus a virtual Meet & Greet with your travel companions before you depart.

The standard electrical voltage aboard ship and in Tahiti is 220 volts. Both 220-volt and 110-volt outlets are available in bathrooms and staterooms. We recommend bringing along a power strip so that you both may recharge phones, cameras and add additional items such as a curling iron.

We do our best to reserve dinner at approximately 7:00 p.m. each night for the entire group for dinner. If you desire to dine earlier, please let your Concierge know at the Welcome Aboard meeting in Papeete. Note that on most cruises, the majority of our guests choose late the 7 – 8 p.m. seating and by selecting an earlier time, you may be dining with a smaller group of our guests or perhaps none at all. All dining requests are confirmed once onboard, not in advance and are at the discretion of the cruise line.

The weather in Tahiti, the Society & Cook Islands is Paradise year round! Expect temperatures in the low 70s to mid 80s. Showers are always possible but typically only last 15-30 minutes before it clears up again. A light jacket will be necessary in the evenings, as it may get a little chilly.

Country Club Casual, or elegant resort wear, is appropriate dress for all evenings aboard The MS Paul Gauguin. Country Club Casual consists of a dress, or skirt or slacks with a blouse or sweater for ladies, and slacks and collared shirts for gentleman. No ties are required at any time, although gentlemen may opt to wear a jacket to the Captain’s Welcome Reception.

Please note that casual wear such as shorts, t-shirts, casual jeans (frayed and/or with holes), baseball caps, flip-flops, and Crocs are not considered appropriate after 6:00 p.m. in all restaurants and lounges. Bathrobes and bathing suits are not appropriate in the ship’s restaurants and lounges, and shirts and shoes are required in all public areas at all times.

If you want to dress up and add a little glamour when you dine out, go for it. Singles Travel International members generally add a little class to any venue!  Daytime wear is casual and comfortable for touring/shopping.

*Guests should be aware that shoes suitable for wearing in the water, whether this be reef shoes, sneakers, or old sandals, are imperative to the enjoyment and safety of participating in water-based activities. There are corals, urchins, and other marine life that can cause painful cuts and injuries that can be prevented by wearing appropriate footwear while in boats and in the water. Inexpensive plastic sandals are available in Tahiti, but few shops are open on Saturday afternoons in Papeete where they are available. The next opportunity is not until the ship reaches Bora Bora. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you bring the appropriate shoes from home for this purpose. Note that flip-flops are not suitable for this function.

Evenings aboard the ship are sometimes cool due to the air conditioning, so a cover-up is essential if you tend to get cold easily.
