Paul Gauguin Cruises: Travel Weekly

This Overwater 'Bungalow' Sails

With a passionate commitment to artfully authentic discovery and all-inclusive luxury, Paul Gauguin Cruises (PGC) is French Polynesia’s destination expert. Its award-winning ship, the m/s Paul Gauguin, was built specifically to navigate the lagoons of the South Pacific and has called Tahiti home for more than 25 years.

Destination Expertise

Paul Gauguin Cruises offers more year-round, unique voyages than any other luxury line in the region with itineraries of 7 to 14 nights exploring the Society and Cook Islands, Tuamotus, Marquesas, Tonga, and Fiji. A 2025 Boutique Crossing Collection features three extended journeys to Indonesia and Melanesia.

Cultural Experiences

Only on The Gauguin will your clients enjoy the hospitality of Les Gauguins and Les Gauguines, a troupe of local Tahitians who live aboard as hosts and entertainers, sharing the spirit of Polynesia from the retelling of ancestral legends through music and dance to hosting complimentary Polynesian blessing ceremonies.

Two Private Beaches

French Polynesia is revered for its white-sand beaches, and The Gauguin features access to our private beach in Bora Bora with the iconic Mount Otemanu as a stunning backdrop, and a day at Motu Mahana, our private islet complete with a swim-up bar, authentic barbecue, and shady sun-loungers.

Water Sports

The Gauguin’s aft marina offers complimentary kayaking and paddle boarding directly from a water sports platform—the perfect way to explore the enchanting lagoons here. Guests enjoy use of snorkel gear throughout their voyage, and optional SCUBA certification on board is available for beginner divers, too.

A Beloved, Intimate Ship

Affection runs deep for this casually elegant ship, from travel advisors and their clients to the local communities who regard The Gauguin as family. Hosting just 330 guests in spacious suites and staterooms—many with private balcony—your clients will enjoy French-inspired local cuisine, heartfelt service, and unmatched enrichment.

Artfully Authentic Discovery

As Tahiti’s leading luxury line, Paul Gauguin Cruises enjoys long-standing relationships in the islands it has called home for nearly three decades, leading to exclusive initiatives such as our Moana Explorer Program for children offered in partnership with Te mana o te moana, a South Pacific marine conservation foundation.
