What Makes Paul Gauguin Cruises Different?
Unlike larger cruise lines, Paul Gauguin Cruises is purpose-built for exploring French Polynesia. The 5-star luxury ship, m/s Paul Gauguin, carries just 330 guests, creating a relaxed and uncrowded atmosphere while still offering world-class facilities. Here’s what you can expect when cruising with Paul Gauguin Cruises:
- All-Inclusive Luxury – Enjoy gourmet dining, fine wines, open bar service and even water sports equipment included in your fare.
- Destination-Focused Itineraries – Paul Gauguin sails year-round in Tahiti and the South Pacific, with carefully designed itineraries that immerse you in local culture and natural beauty.
- Private Island Experiences – Guests enjoy exclusive access to the cruise line’s private retreat, Motu Mahana, off the coast of Taha’a, and a private beach in Bora Bora.
- Authentic Polynesian Hospitality – The onboard staff, including a troupe of Tahitian hosts and entertainers known as Les Gauguins and Les Gauguines, bring the islands’ culture and warmth to life.
- Small-Ship Advantage – With its compact size, m/s Paul Gauguin is able to access smaller lagoons and ports that larger ships simply can’t reach, giving you a more intimate, authentic experience.
Discover the Magic of Tahiti & French Polynesia
French Polynesia is a dream destination—picture postcard-perfect lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, lush volcanic peaks, and some of the friendliest people in the world.
