Paul Gauguin Cruises offers luxury cruise experiences uniquely tailored to the unparalleled wonders of Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacific. The Paul Gauguin was designed specially to sail the shallow waters of this region, calling at small islands that larger ships can't easily reach. With only 330 guests and a crew-to-guest ratio of 1-to-1.5, the Paul Gauguin boasts an informal and relaxing environment while treating passengers with every luxury and comfort of home, featuring complimentary wine and spirits throughout the ship. As guests sail the beautiful South Pacific, they have the opportunity to take full advantage of their surroundings with the onboard water sports marina. Between ports, you can kayak, paddleboard or even board a Zodiac and take some scuba lessons. When it comes time to step on land, there are numerous shore excursions to choose from, including snorkeling, golf, hiking and more. Paul Gauguin Cruises allows guests to make the most of cruising by transporting them comfortably with the best service the cruise industry has to offer.
