Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin Cruises runs elegant small-ship voyages through the islands of French Polynesia, Fiji, and the South Pacific, giving travellers an immersive cultural experience and close access to remote destinations. Each voyage is built around the relaxed luxury and natural beauty of the region, with intimate time among turquoise lagoons, lush islands, and quiet beaches. Guests can take in the South Pacific in comfort and style.

M/S Paul Gauguin: A Ship Designed for the Islands

The m/s Paul Gauguin is a purpose-built luxury ship designed for the shallow waters of the South Pacific, so it can reach ports and anchorages that larger cruise ships cannot. Carrying up to 330 guests, the ship keeps a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, with nearly 70% of suites and staterooms offering private balconies for open ocean views. Onboard, guests enjoy three dining venues, a full-service spa, a watersports marina, and attentive five-star service for a stay that is both comfortable and well run.

Authentic Polynesian Hospitality and All-Inclusive Luxury

Paul Gauguin Cruises is known for its all-inclusive approach, so guests can enjoy a voyage without worrying about extra charges. The fare covers dining, premium beverages, onboard gratuities, and watersports such as kayaking and paddleboarding straight from the ship's marina. A signature part of every voyage is the Gauguines and Gauguins, a group of local Tahitian hosts who bring Polynesian culture to life through storytelling, dance, and music. Their presence gives guests a deeper connection to the places they visit.
