Set your heart aglow and immerse your senses with jaw-dropping views painted in dreamlike colors, for here is an adventure you will never forget. Scenic, sacred, and sublime, the captivating splendor of the Society Islands has long been a muse for artists and authors—Matisse was greatly influenced by "the light and enchantments of the sky," and Michener declared Bora Bora the most beautiful island in the world. The same poetic beauty that inspired Melville, Stevenson, and Gauguin himself is revealed with artfully authentic insight on this enriching journey.
m/s Paul Gauguin
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 (nearly 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 Gauguins and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.
