Discover Why the Experts Make all the Difference
True Polynesian Authenticity
The Gauguin is the only ship in French Polynesia with its own troupe of local Tahitian hosts—Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins—who live aboard ship to share their heritage and culture through traditional dance, music, and storytelling on every journey. The ship itself showcases local artwork and design, creating a tropically chic Polynesian ambiance.
Unmatched Destination Discovery
Ranging from 7 to 20 nights, our diverse itineraries navigate the Society Islands, Tuamotus, and Marquesas, and beyond to the Cook Islands, Fiji, and Bali. Private beaches and multiple overnight stays allow for magical experiences, while expertly guided excursions reveal ancient temples and hidden natural wonders most travelers never discover.
Exceptional Cuisine & Exacting Service
A delicious fusion of French culinary traditions and vibrant Polynesian flavors is served across three distinctive venues, from casual poolside fare to elegant fine dining—with 24-hour room service too. Our friendly and welcoming staff delivers personalized service in an atmosphere of casually elegant Polynesian luxury.
Unparalleled Water Adventures
The Gauguin’s retractable watersports marina offers complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding directly from the ship, and expertly fitted snorkeling gear opens a world of discovery among dazzling reefs. We are Tahiti’s only luxury line to offer an onboard PADI-certified SCUBA program with both novice training and advanced dives.
Dedicated Kids Program
Our complimentary Moana Explorer Program—unique to Paul Gauguin Cruises—engages kids ages 6-15 with conservation-focused activities on select summer and holiday voyages. Additionally, the ship’s new connecting staterooms make a Polynesian vacation ideal for families seeking to create multi-generational memories.
