Cruise Highlights
The m/s Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti, Fiji, and the South Pacific, visiting small ports that larger ships can't reach and effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas. She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort, and luxury. Spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, and an extensive spa are among her luxurious attributes. The atmosphere aboard our ship radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. And our beloved troupe of Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins—local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers—add the unique personality of Polynesia to every sailing.
