Paul Gauguin Cruises Highlights
Immersive South Pacific Experience
Paul Gauguin Cruises offers a deeply authentic connection to the South Pacific, sailing year-round through Tahiti, French Polynesia, Fiji, and the surrounding islands. Unlike larger cruise lines that only visit occasionally, the ms Paul Gauguin was purpose-built for these waters, allowing guests to access smaller lagoons, hidden coves, and less-traveled ports that capture the true spirit of Polynesia. From private beach days on Motu Mahana to cultural encounters in Bora Bora and Moorea, every itinerary is designed to showcase the beauty, warmth, and traditions of the islands.
Intimate and Personalized Service
With a capacity of just over 300 guests, the ms Paul Gauguin ensures an atmosphere of exclusivity and personal attention. The high crew-to-guest ratio means that service is not only attentive but genuinely heartfelt—staff often greet guests by name and anticipate their preferences after only a day or two on board. This boutique size fosters a relaxed, unhurried ambiance where every detail, from dining to excursions, feels tailored and personal.
Exceptional Culinary Excellence
Dining aboard Paul Gauguin Cruises is a highlight in itself, blending world-class French cuisine with fresh local ingredients that celebrate the flavors of the islands. Menus are crafted under the influence of culinary partner Le Cordon Bleu, and guests can savor everything from elegant multi-course dinners to casual beach barbecues. Fine wines and regional specialties add to the sensory experience, creating meals that are as memorable as the scenery that surrounds them.
All-Inclusive Luxury and Enrichment
Paul Gauguin Cruises offers a true all-inclusive experience, where virtually everything—gourmet dining, beverages, gratuities, water sports, and even select shore excursions—is included in the voyage. This approach allows guests to relax fully and focus on enjoying their time in paradise without worrying about extra costs. On board, expert lecturers and Polynesian hosts, known as Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, share their knowledge of local culture, music, and traditions, enriching each journey with authentic insight and warm island spirit.
