Paul Gauguin Cruises
Authentic Polynesian Charm & 5-Star Luxury — Your Gateway to Paradise.
The Travel Point Edit
Paul Gauguin Cruises offers the most authentic way to experience the islands of Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific. Designed specifically to navigate the shallow lagoons of these islands, the m/s Paul Gauguin provides an intimate environment where the local culture is brought on board through "Les Gauguines"—local Tahitians who serve as hosts and entertainers. It is the perfect choice for honeymooners and anniversary travelers seeking a romantic, small-ship atmosphere.
❤️ What We Love
- Private Island Access: Exclusive days at Motu Mahana, the line’s private islet, featuring a floating bar and BBQ.
- All-Inclusive Luxury: Fare includes all dining, beverages, gratuities, and watersports from the ship's marina.
- Authentic Hosts: Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins provide genuine Polynesian hospitality and cultural workshops.
⚓ To Consider
- Classic Aesthetic: The ship features a more traditional, wood-paneled decor rather than modern-minimalist styling.
- Niche Focus: Specifically designed for French Polynesia; there are fewer high-energy entertainment options than on larger lines.
