Paul Gauguin Cruises operates the award-winning luxury cruise ship the m/s Paul Gauguin, which provides an exceptional cruise experience tailored to the unparalleled wonders of Tahiti, the South Pacific, Fiji and the South Pacific. In September 2019, Paul Gauguin Cruises joined PONANT's family, the world leader of small-ship cruising.
The renowned, 5+-star m/s Paul Gauguin was built specifically to sail the waters of Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific, and is the longest continually operating luxury cruise ship in this enchanting destination. No other luxury ship in history has offered this level of single-destination focus and expertise on a year-round basis for such an extended period of time.
Artful onboard features include luxurious, oceanview accommodations with balconies in select staterooms, gourmet dining curated by award-winning chef Jean-Pierre Vigato, a lavish spa offering signature treatments, an expansive deck and outdoor pool, fitness center, a boutique, and a lounge with live entertainment introducing you to Polynesia’s vibrant cultures. The Gauguin also offers a watersports marina for kayaking, paddle boarding, and PADI SCUBA diving programs. Only with Paul Gauguin Cruises can you visit our private island of Motu Mahana (off the coast of Taha’a) where food, drink, and live music await as well as our exclusive beach retreat in Bora Bora.

Paul Gauguin Cruises is a specialist in luxury small-ship cruising across the South Pacific, part of the PONANT Explorations Group. With over 25 years navigating the region, Le Paul Gauguin was purpose-built for the shallow waters of the South Pacific and carries just 165 staterooms with a crew-to-guest ratio of 2 to 3. The onboard Polynesian hosts (Gauguines and Gauguins) create an authentic, warm atmosphere that sets it apart from other cruise lines.
Paul Gauguin Cruises sails primarily through French Polynesia including the Society Islands (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea), Tuamotus, Marquesas, and Cook Islands, as well as Fiji, Tonga, and the wider South Pacific. In 2027, the ship also ventures to Indonesia (Bali, Komodo), Papua New Guinea, Melanesia, Vanuatu, and Darwin, Australia. Itineraries range from 7 to 20 nights.
Paul Gauguin Cruises offers an all-inclusive experience that covers all meals and snacks, a wide selection of beverages, room service, butler service for select suites and staterooms, watersports equipment (masks, snorkels, stand-up paddleboards), onboard entertainment, and exclusive access to a private motu (islet) in French Polynesia. Gourmet international cuisine inspired by local products and flavours is served across three elegant restaurants.
Le Paul Gauguin features three elegant restaurants serving gourmet international cuisine inspired by local Polynesian products and flavours. The ship underwent a substantial renovation in early 2025, refreshing The Grill restaurant and pool deck with contemporary natural-hue design. Entertainment includes Polynesian cultural performances by the Gauguines and Gauguins hosts, and guests enjoy watersports such as snorkelling, diving, and stand-up paddleboarding directly from the ship's marina.
Shore excursions include canoeing, snorkelling, cycling, walking, diving, and cultural immersion experiences such as visiting traditional arts, black pearl and vanilla cultivation, and local gastronomy. Excursions and activities are organised directly with local, family-run organisations to promote responsible tourism. While the ship provides complimentary watersports and private motu access, specific guided excursions at ports of call are available at additional cost.
Paul Gauguin Cruises is ideal for travellers seeking an intimate, relaxed, and culturally immersive South Pacific experience. It appeals to couples, honeymooners, and mature travellers who value a cosmopolitan yet laid-back atmosphere, authentic Polynesian culture, and close encounters with nature. The ship's small size and high crew-to-guest ratio make it perfect for those who prefer personalised service over large-ship cruising.
As part of the PONANT Explorations Group, Paul Gauguin Cruises guests benefit from the PONANT Yacht Club loyalty program, which rewards repeat travellers with benefits such as onboard credits, upgrades, and exclusive offers. Seasonal promotions and early booking incentives are regularly available; guests should check the PONANT or Paul Gauguin Cruises website for the latest deals and savings on upcoming voyages.
Wi-Fi is available onboard Le Paul Gauguin, though connectivity in remote South Pacific regions may be limited. The cancellation policy follows a tiered schedule with increasing penalties as the departure date approaches; specific terms and deadlines are detailed in the booking conditions on the PONANT/Paul Gauguin Cruises website. Travel insurance is strongly recommended given the remote destinations served.
