The Paul Gauguin was designed specifically for sailing French Polynesia year-round.                 She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands,                           with Paul Gauguins' interpretation of six-star service, comfort and luxury.

Spacious staterooms (Over 50% with private balconies), a watersports marina, a choice of  three single seating dining venues and an extensive spa are among her six-star attributes. The atmosphere aboard radiates warmth and informality. And her beloved troupe of Gauguines - part cruise staff, part entertainers, part storytellers, add the unique personality of French Polynesia to every cruise.

There is no group if islands in the world more romantic and beautiful than the Socitey Islands.  They inspired a mutiny on the infamous Bounty. They captured the imagination of Paul Gauguin and have been immortalized by some of the world's great writers from Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson and James Michener to Somerset Maugham.

From the Jagged peaks crown emerald rain forests of the Society Islands and Marquesas to the endless tourquoise waters and lagoons of the Tuamotu Atolls, the Paul Gauguin offers one of the best cruise experiences of a lifetime.  With some of the longest island stays of any cruise or sailings, the ship offers and endless amount of time for activities and exploration.  The Paul Gauguin's own marina unfolds from the back of the ship and offers everything from kayaking to scuba diving with the best dive staff aboard any ship.
