| Invite your clients to settle into Bora Bora’s turquoise lagoon as the sun sets behind Mount Otemanu in hues of gold and coral. The water seems to hold its breath—an experience that feels entirely their own.
This is the quiet alchemy of small-ship cruising in French Polynesia, perfected by Paul Gauguin Cruises for nearly 30 years. |
|
| Private Paradise, the m/s Paul Gauguin |
|
|
| French Polynesia reveals its secrets up close. Thanks to The Gauguin’s small size, access Bora Bora’s lagoon, Raiatea, and reach Huahine—destinations larger ships miss. With an onboard marina, guests step straight into the water to paddle, kayak, or dive. |
|
|
|
| Scaled to the Soul of the Islands |
| French Polynesia is defined by intimacy—and so is The Gauguin. Small enough to anchor in secluded, breathtaking settings, she offers an onboard experience as immersive as ashore, with spacious accommodations, private balconies, and refined cuisine. |

|
| Lived Rather Than Visited |
| Some mornings in French Polynesia belong only to those who stay overnight—glassy lagoons, amber light. On select voyages, guests enjoy overnights in Bora Bora and/or Moorea, and Papeete with more time to explore, unwind, and experience authentic onboard performances. |
|
|
|
|
|
| On every 7- to 14-night voyage, guests enjoy a day at Motu Mahana—The Gauguin’s private islet in Taha’a. They can swim in luminous waters, relax on white-sand beaches, savor a Polynesian barbecue, and enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and a floating bar. |

|
|
| The Crew Knows Your Clients’ Name |
| With few guests on board, service feels naturally attentive. Dine at leisure across three restaurants—from Polynesian specialties at Le Grill to refined French cuisine at La Veranda. L’Etoile offers an international menu and delicacies from the sea, all in a relaxed, casually elegant atmosphere. |
|

|
|
|
| Polynesia Lives Aboard the Ship |
| Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins—Tahitian hosts who live aboard—share their culture through dance, storytelling, and daily life. Ashore, decades of relationships enrich each visit, while the Moana Explorer Program offers complimentary marine education for children on select sailings. |

|
|
| Nearly 30 Years of Knowing Exactly Where to Go |
| French Polynesia isn’t just visited—it’s home to Paul Gauguin Cruises. Sailing to the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Cook Islands, and Society Islands, where fewer visitors mean greater exclusivity and a deeper, more intimate connection—Hawaii sees as many visitors in a week as Tahiti does in a year. |
