Paul Gauguin Cruises offers voyages to various parts of our world, including the Mediterranean, but for many it’s the lines tropical itineraries that capture their hearts: Imagine dipping your toes in crystal clear waters, running warm, golden sand through your fingertips and looking beneath the ripple on the surface to find tropical fish for as far as the eye can see. There aren’t many areas in our world that offer a true slice of tropical paradise, but m/s Paul Gauguin sails to the ones that do.
Tahiti, Fiji, French Polynesia and the South Pacific are all just a short thought away, they are no longer destinations that one only dreams about, as with Paul Gauguin Cruises you can visit islands including: Noumea, Lautoka, Rarotonga, Bora Bora, Moorea, Papeete, Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa.
The m/s Paul Gauguin will be your home away from home during your cruise, she is small, welcoming and was purpose built to explore the shallow waters of the South Pacific. She even offers a troupe of Gaugines and Gauguins—local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers – to make your experience even more authentic.
Onboard, you will find that almost everything is included in the cost of your fare: from gratuities to drinks and fine dining to watersports, including complimentary kayaking, windsurfing and paddleboarding. If your itinerary calls to the island of Bora Bora then your fare will also include the use of White Sand Beach, with bar service, snorkeling and volleyball. Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin’s private islet is also offered on selected French Polynesia voyages to Taha’a.
