Paul Gauguin Cruises is offering the six-star m/s Paul Gauguin ship for Tahiti cruise vacations. It is the only cruise ship to offer year-round Tahiti cruises and the only ship purposely built to cruise French Polynesia.
At the turn of the century, impressionist Paul Gauguin travelled to the tropical shores of French Polynesia to create some of his most renowned masterpieces. Today his namesake, the m/s Paul Gauguin, transports you to the same romantic Tahitian vacation paradise-to explore, experience and escape. With the freedom to discover the exotic ports of the South Pacific without limitation, your cruise aboard m/s Paul Gauguin will fulfill your every dream and expectation.
Awarded "Top 3 Small Luxury Cruise Ship"
By Conde Nast Traveler, Reader's Poll 2009
Nested in the cool Pacific waters, Polynesian settlers found a string of emerald islands, fruitful and fertile, carpeted with lush rain forests and vibrant life. Scattered over a vast, 2.5 million square kilometers area in the South Pacific, French Polynesia is made up of several series of islands, atolls, and archipelagoes, independently surrounded by lagoons and barrier reefs that create unique eco-systems and divine respites for the traveler weary of the usual getaway.
Choose from 7, 9, 10, 11 or 14 night cruise vacations onboard the m/s Paul Gauguin. All cruises sail roundtrip from Papeete, Tahiti. This is also where you'll find Tahiti's only International Airport. Only an 8 hour flight from Los Angeles, California...Tahiti is closer than you think!
m/s Paul Gauguin
The m/s Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti and French Polynesia, visiting small ports that larger ships can't reach and effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas. She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort and luxury. Spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues and an extensive spa are among her luxurious attributes. The atmosphere aboard ship radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. And our beloved troupe of Gauguines-a local Tahitian group who serve as cruise staff, entertainers and storytellers-add the unique personality of Tahiti to every cruise.
