✤ Air included from Los Angeles and Air Add-Ons have limited availability and are not guaranteed.

Dear Alumnae and Friends:

The evolution of ancient volcanic activity beneath the sea, sculpted by waves and wind over millennia, created the idyllic islands of Tahiti, Huahine, Fakarava, Rangiroa, Taha’a, Bora Bora and Moorea. Experience this unspoiled earthly paradise—majestic peaks rising up from emerald green jungles, chalk white atolls, pristine beaches and turquoise lagoons—that has beckoned explorers, travelers, artists and writers for centuries during this nine-night land and sea sojourn featuring the resplendent Society Islands and Tuamotu Archipelago. Enjoy two nights in colorful Papeete, Tahiti, and seven nights aboard the Five-Star-Plus M.S. PAUL GAUGUIN, specifi cally designed to cruise the crystal-clear aquamarine waters of the South Pacifi c, including the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, known for its incredible marine life and tremendous snorkeling. Cruise aboard the intimate, Five-Star-Plus, 166-Stateroom M.S. PAUL GAUGUIN, which provides an unmatched small ship experience amidst the unparalleled beauty of the islands, atolls and motus of French Polynesia: Tahiti, the Society Islands and the Tuamotus. The gracious staff of Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, an exclusive feature aboard the M.S. PAUL GAUGUIN, bring the native spirit of Polynesia to life through enriching cultural experiences including ancestral storytelling through dance, traditional songs and demonstrations of customary Polynesian handicrafts, all while providing warm and attentive Five-Star-Plus service. And, a whole host of complimentary features aboard ship are included: all shipboard gratuities; complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages served throughout the ship, including at every lunch and dinner, and replenished in your Suite or Stateroom throughout the cruise; complimentary watersports; and even complimentary personal butler service in Suite Category 1 and Stateroom Category 2. Cultural enrichment abounds in the captivating natural environment of French Polynesia. During your stay in Tahiti, explore the west coast of the island and learn more about the history, environment and culture of Polynesia and admire the unique private collection in the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands. An onboard naturalist will provide a variety of talks and demonstrations about the islands’ history and cultural heritage throughout the cruise. You can observe—and even snorkel and swim with—extraordinary marine life and breathe in the fresh fragrances of vanilla, gardenia and jasmine that delicately permeate the island air. We invite you to join us for this splendid opportunity featuring round-trip air included from Los Angeles✤ and Early Booking Savings through July 22, 2016! This is the perfect time of year to enjoy the Five-Star-Plus M.S. PAUL GAUGUIN cruising in its home ports amidst the mysterious, far-off islands of the South Pacifi c. This program sells out quickly, so we encourage you to book now while space and Early Booking Savings are still available!

SOCIETY ISLANDSPapeete, TahitiLively, cosmopolitan Papeete, the breathtaking capital of French Polynesia and the gateway to the treasures of the South Pacifi c, has extended a hospitable welcome to visitors since its founding as a missionary settlement in 1824. Located on a natural harbor cooled by trade winds, Papeete enjoys one of the fi nest natural settings in the South Pacifi c, set against a backdrop of verdant, forest-clad peaks. Its tropical ambiance is complemented by the charm and diversity of its inhabitants, a vibrant blend of native Tahitian, French and Chinese. During the exclusive included excursion along the island’s west coast, tour the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands to view its signifi cant archaeological fi nds and learn more about the island’s geology, fl ora, fauna, culture and customs. Walk through the sacred Arahurahu Marae, Polynesia’s only fully restored marae (open-air temple).

Visit the beautifully landscaped Spring Garden of Vaipahi, home to approximately 75 different species of plants including precious mape (chestnut), tropical fl owers and pine woods.

HuahineSoaring peaks, lush rainforests, dazzling white beaches and ancient shrines distinguish this untouched paradise formed of two islands—Huahine-Nui and Huahine-Iti—separated by a deep sapphire blue bay and ringed by a coral atoll. The idyllic port of Fare lies nestled between the sea and a woodland of towering mape trees draped with sweet-scented vanilla vines. In the nearby settlement of Maeva, the ancient religious center of Huahine-Nui, stand 10 marae,

Explore the mysterious underwater world of Bora Bora’s reefs and look for graceful double-saddle butterfl yfi sh, dazzling corals and an abundance of exotic marine life.

built in the 16th century of locally quarried stone and dedicated to the Polynesian deities Tane and Oro.

Taha’a (Motu Mahana)Idyllically set across an azure lagoon to the north of Huahine, Taha’a is dominated by the profi le of Mount Ohiri, named for Hiro, the Polynesian god of sailors and thieves. Today, two exotic enterprises provide the islanders’ livelihoods—the production of the world’s most fl avorful vanilla beans and the farming of lustrous black pearls. Spend the day on the private South Pacifi c paradise of Motu Mahana, where you can swim, snorkel or kayak, and enjoy a traditional Polynesian feast on the island complemented by entertainment.

Bora BoraDescribed as “the most beautiful island in the world” by author James A. Michener, Bora Bora is the proverbial vision of a South Seas paradise. Its distinctive black basalt peak is cloaked in a lush tropical forest and silhouetted against turquoise lagoon waters, where a coral reef and an outlying fringe of motu teem with multicolored fi sh. Bora Bora was settled by adventurous Polynesian mariners in the 10th century. The islanders have preserved the ways of their forebears and still

wear the traditional colorfully hand-dyed pareo or sarong. In Bora Bora’s forested interior, villagers cultivate breadfruit, coconuts and taro and preserve the ancient ruins of stone marae, the legacy of ancestral Polynesian deities.

Exotic natural beauty surrounds you in Bora Bora, where tall peaks, ideal for trail walks, and strikingly blue and turquoise lagoons, well-suited for snorkeling, are in abundance.

Moorea Intriguing temples evoke Moorea’s Polynesian heritage while European churches underscore its role as the center for 19th-century missionary activity in the Society Islands. Contemporary islanders continue the ways of their forefathers, farming pineapples and papayas and crafting fi ne works of art from seashells and indigenous wood. In Moorea’s village of Papetoai, a unique, octagonal-shaped church is the oldest European structure in the South Seas still in use.

RangiroaThe Tuamotus, Tahiti’s “strand of pearls” and the largest chain of islands in the world, are a remote, picture-perfect oasis of the South Seas. Comprised of more than 110 miles of tiny islet motus encircling dozens of pristine coral atolls, Rangiroa—“vast sky” in the local language—offers magnifi cent, unobstructed vistas in every direction. Its seemingly endless emerald green lagoon is the largest in the Tuamotus and the second largest in the world, a secluded natural aquarium that is particularly attractive to divers. The atoll also offers ideal snorkeling—observe the manta ray, the green sea turtle and the rare, endangered humphead wrasse—and a unique pink sand beach.

FakaravaThe second largest of the Tuamotu atolls, Fakarava is designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its lagoon’s rich ecosystem of rare endemic birds, plants and crustaceans. In Fakarava’s two villages, the local pearl and coconut farmers actively participate in conservation efforts, as their livelihood depends on sustaining these natural resources. The motu village of Tetamanu, the former capital of the Tuamotus, features a lovely

Catholic church built entirely of coral, the fi rst church constructed in the archipelago by European missionaries (1874). Near the village of Rotoava stands the Topaka Lighthouse, a picturesque 45-foot-tall coral stone turret.

Round-trip Air Add-Ons available from 85 selected gateways at additional cost; all are available through PGC, and all are based on economy-class travel, carriers and routings of PGC’s choice and contractual agreements between PGC and respective airlines. PGC reserves the right to use charter air service where applicable. As the airfares negotiated by PGC are very restricted, all tickets issued are non-endorsable and cannot be exchanged for another carrier or alternative routing. Gohagan and the sponsoring association/organization have no control over availability. Once submitted, fl ight itineraries and/or travel dates on all deposited bookings can be changed for a $100-per-person fee per call, plus any applicable service charges and/or supplier fees. Included air, however, is not guaranteed on any such changes. First-class and business-class may be available for the transpacifi c portion of your fl ights at additional cost. Full terms and conditions apply as set forth by PGC’s standard Air/Sea Program. LUGGAGE: Luggage allowance policies are set by the airlines and may change without prior notice. Please contact your airline(s) for the most current luggage allowance policy.PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY: All programs require physical independence and mobility. Any physical or mental condition that may require special medical attention or physical assistance (for example, the need for a wheelchair) must be reported in writing when you make your reservation. Travelers must be able to embark or disembark motorcoaches alone or with minimal assistance from your traveling companion and climb stairs and step over raised thresholds without assistance. Travelers requiring assistance must travel with a companion who will be responsible for handling equipment. 05/16-1

DISCOUNTED RESERVATIONS: Discounts apply only to those reservations received in the offi ces of Gohagan in writing, accompanied by the required deposit, by July 22, 2016. In the event a “discounted” reservation must be cancelled, no “replacement” reservation can be substituted at the discounted rate. A “replacement” reservation is a new reservation and can be substituted only at the full-fare tariff. Cancellation penalties may apply. CANCELLATIONS: Cancellations for all or any part of the trip including Post Program reservation(s) will not be effective until received in writing in the offi ces of Gohagan. Should you have to cancel, the following terms will apply: reservation cancellation(s) are subject to a $200 ($50 Post Program) per person administrative fee from the time of booking through 180 days prior to departure; from 120 through 179 days prior to departure, $800 ($200 Post Program) per person; from 95 through 119 days prior to departure, 40% of the published full regular tariffs; from 61 through 94 days prior to departure, 60% of the published full regular tariffs; cancellations 60 days or less prior to departure, a no-show, or early return from the trip will result in forfeiture of 100% of the published full regular tariffs. In addition, any applicable airline cancellation fees, optional excursion cancellation fees and administrative fees may apply.TRIP INSURANCE: Because our cancellation policies are strictly enforced, we strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation insurance. In the event that you must cancel your participation in a travel program, trip cancellation insurance may be the only source of reimbursement. Trip cancellation insurance is available through Gohagan and others for comprehensive coverage of such expenses in conjunction with cancellation due to illness or accident, and damaged or lost luggage. We will send you an application upon receipt of your reservation.RATES: Prices quoted are based on fares in effect at the time of printing and are subject to change at any time. On land and/or cruise programs, even after full payment, Gohagan reserves the right to increase the tour price in the event of cost increases due to changes in supplier costs, currency fl uctuations or fuel or energy surcharges and all such increases are to be paid to Gohagan upon notice to the tour participant of such increases. On programs which include Gohagan purchased interstate or international air (which originates or returns to the United States), no increased costs will be passed on after fi nal payment except for subsequently imposed governmental tax increases.REGISTRATION: CST#: 2031868-40, WST#: 601 767 666, OST#: TA 0905.BINDING ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Binding Arbitration Agreement, the brochure, or any other information relating in any way to the trip, or to the trip itself, shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then existent.
