The m/s Paul Gauguin recently underwent renovations, with all updates celebrating an elevated nod to the South Pacific. The new décor enriches the guests experience while sailing through the blue lagoons of Tahiti, French Polynesia, Fiji, and the South Pacific. A palette incorporating shades of blue, taupe, green, and pearl complements warm wood finishes, woven textiles, Polynesian motifs, and stylish gold accents. Plus, all promenades feature new carpets, furniture, and textiles.

With the renovations came a few changes, including the addition of a Reading Nook in lieu of the casino, and the ship’s hospital has undergone technical advancements. Additionally, complimentary Wi-Fi has been added to the already extensive list of all-inclusives available aboard m/s Paul Gauguin.

In 2019, Paul Gauguin Cruises eliminated use of heavy fuel oil on m/s Paul Gauguin and began to offset 150 percent of carbon emissions. In an ongoing effort to minimize impact on the environment, a new water treatment, consumption optimization, and energy-saving initiatives have been added to her operations.

In addition to the cosmetic update of m/s Paul Gauguin, guests can enjoy decorative screens featuring Paul Gauguin’s artwork throughout the ship, one of which resides in Fare Tahiti, the ship’s “museum.” Passengers have the opportunity to view 150 paintings and read annotations on Paul Gauguin’s work.

The cruise line’s four trademark itineraries are known for their South Pacific routes.

The perfect introduction—or reintroduction—to the picture-perfect charms of the South Pacific, this 7-night sojourn features destinations that played muse for author James A. Michener and painter Paul Gauguin.

The Society Islands & the Tuamotus offer unlimited discovery, exploration, and adventure. This luxury cruise explores some of French Polynesia’s most-requested islands. If a diving enthusiast, discover Rangiroa’s lagoon—one of the world’s most coveted diving destinations teeming with fascinating marine life, like tropical fish, sharks, rays, turtles, and dolphins. Fakarava is the second-largest atoll in the Tuamotus and home to a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The South Pacific puts on quite a show, and the region’s incredible diversity of scenery is front and center on this 11-night journey through the Cook and Society Islands. From the rugged terrain of Rarotonga and coral reef-lined lagoon of Aitutaki to the jaw-dropping beauty of bucket-list mainstays Bora Bora and Moorea, guests will be hard-pressed to pick a favorite port of call.

Natural beauty is on display on this two-week journey through the Marquesas, Tuamotus, and the Society Islands. This itinerary offers plenty of time to explore at your own pace, from the pristine beaches and exceptional diving of the Tuamotu Archipelago to the Marquesas Islands of Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, and Nuku Hiva, all rich in culture and rugged, natural beauty. You’ll then continue on to the picturesque Society Islands.
