The beauty of Tahiti and the Society Islands has left people spellbound for centuries and there’s no better way to discover it for yourself than cruising aboard the luxurious Paul Gauguin. Gliding through turquoise waters, pausing at a deserted motu and delighting you with perfect day after perfect day, the Paul Gauguin crew will ensure your every need is taken care of.
Slow down, relax and enjoy as you cruise Tahiti's magical islands of Huahine, Taha'a, Bora Bora and Moorea.
On-board, the crew are attentive and eager to ensure you enjoy every moment of your cruise. With 217 crew to just 332 guests, you’ll enjoy one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios of any luxury cruise ship.
Dining is a five-star culinary adventure, with every one of the onboard dining options included in the cruise fare. In the evenings, enjoy entertainment provided by Paul Gauguin’s own troupe of Tahitian entertainers.
Suites and staterooms are spacious and well appointed, all with ocean views and 70% offering private balconies.

Designed specifically to glide in luxury through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Once on board, guests enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service. Life on The Gauguin also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Les Gauguin and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.

Watersports
The custom built watersports marina offers easy access to complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding, and Zodiacs® for optional dive excursions.
Motu Mahana
Just offshore lies Motu Mahana, 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.
There’s no end to the indulgences of this private island paradise. Go for a swim in the warm waters. Snorkel with colorful tropical fish among the green and purple blooms of coral. Or paddle out farther in one of the kayaks that have been brought to shore from The Gauguin’s watersports marina.
Ashore, you might engage in a game of volleyball or watch as your hosts, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, demonstrate how to open a coconut or tie a pareo. Perhaps you’ll treat yourself to an overwater massage. And when the time comes for refreshments, delight in a sumptuous barbecue feast—complete with cocktails from the floating bar.
Bora Bora – Private Beach
You can spend as much time as you'd like during the day on Paul Gauguin Cruises’private beach in Bora Bora. The specialists from the watersports marina will be on hand to help you enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding from the beach, or don the equipment you packed and enjoy exceptional snorkeling to view tropical fish and manta rays in the azure lagoon.
Or you might simply stay on the warm white sands of the beach, sunbathing or engaging in a game of volleyball. But this Bora Bora island retreat especially speaks to those seeking that quintessential remote Tahitian beach with few signs of the outside world. A place to daydream, nap, read, or just be. A fair amount of time should be spent just marveling at the postcard-perfect views of Mount Otemanu towering over the main island in this exclusive Bora Bora getaway.
Optional Shore Excursions
Choose from a range of optional shore excursions in each port.
Fitness Centre
A fully equipped fitness centre is available for guest use.
Swimming Pool

Clothing which is informal, comfortable and easily washable is most practical aboard the ship. In addition to shorts, jeans or trousers, T-shirts and a bathing suit, a rain poncho or coat and warm sweatshirt or light sweater for chilly evenings are recommended. Comfortable shoes are essential for walking ashore over coral reefs. Tennis shoes or sandals are recommended. For women, the native pareo, made of colourful fabric, which can be wrapped in a variety of styles, is a versatile choice for both casual and festive occasions and can be purchased onboard or during port visits.
