Encore… Jean-Michel Cousteau returns to host four Paul Gauguin cruises in 2013

World-renowned oceanographer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau will be returning to guest host four more cruises in the South Pacific on the m/s Paul Gauguin in 2013.

Mr Cousteau is a diplomat for the environment, educator, author and film producer communicating his passion and concern for the Earth’s oceans.

For more than 60 years, he, his father - the legendary Jacques Cousteau - and his family have been part of the greatest exploration of the oceans in all of history.

In 1999, he founded the Ocean Futures Society to explore global oceans, inspiring and educating people throughout the world to act responsibly for their protection, documenting the critical connection between humanity and nature, and celebrating the ocean’s vital importance to the survival of all life on our planet. 

During the four voyages on the m/s Paul Gauguin, Mr Cousteau, pictured, will offer a series of lectures with videos of his work in the world’s oceans and accompany guests on several dives.
