MORE ABOUT PAUL GAUGUIN CRUISES

Showcasing French Polynesia with authenticity is at the heart of The Gauguin Experience. Paul Gauguin Cruises is renowned for exploring Tahiti with passionate enthusiasm — sailing a ship built specifically for these waters, partnering locally, and welcoming Tahitian hosts on board to share their music, crafts, and stories. Time ashore favors meaningful encounters over checklists, while time aboard the beloved m/s Paul Gauguin is designed to feel carefree and immersive. The result is an experience that allows destinations including Bora Bora, Moorea, and the Marquesas to feel deeply personal and authentic.
