MV Tere Moana, previously Le Levant, is a cruise ship owned and operated by Paul Gauguin Cruises. The ship was built at the Alstom Leroux shipyard in St. Malo, France in 1998.

History

The ship was originally built in 1998. She operated with Compagnie du Ponant as Le Levant until December 2012 when she was refurbished and transferred to Paul Gauguin Cruises. She now specialises in European, Caribbean, and Latin American cruises.[1]

In June 2015 Paul Gauguin Cruises announced that the Tere Moana is being sold to Grand Circle Cruises. PG Cruises will continue to operate the ship through May 2016. [2]

The name Tere Moana translates into Ocean Traveller in Tahitian.[3]
