The Gauguin delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious.

Private Retreats

Private Retreats

Part of what makes a voyage with Paul Gauguin Cruises so special is to be able to access some of the world’s most idyllic, unspoiled beaches which larger ships cannot reach.

Motu Mahana | Off the coast of Taha’a, there is Paul Gauguin Cruises’ private South Seas island, where you’ll spend a day (or maybe two, depending on your itinerary) doing exactly as you please.

Bora Bora | You can spend as much time as you'd like during the day on our private beach in Bora Bora (subject to availability as conditions allow).

Authentic French Polynesia

Authentic French Polynesia

The Gauguin sails accompanied by her own troupe of Tahitian hosts and entertainers, Les Gauguins & Les Gauguines, that bring the spirit of Polynesia to life. Enjoy a retelling of ancestral legends through dance, delight in traditional songs onboard and on Paul Gauguin Cruises' private motu, and learn local crafts during hands-on demonstrations. In addition to Les Gauguins & Les Gauguines, on every voyage we invite local performers onboard to entertain you. Couples celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary can even attend a Polynesian blessing ceremony.

Somewhere deep in the South Pacific, towering mountains rise from a cobalt sea, their jagged cliffs plunging down to rugged shores, their flanks carpeted in deep green jungle.
