Paul Gauguin Cruises’ 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. As soon as you step onboard, you’ll notice that the atmosphere onboard Paul Gauguin radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. Also with Paul Gauguin’s beloved troupe of Gauguines – local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers – you’ll discover the unique personality of Tahiti throughout your entire cruise – both onboard and onshore. Effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas, Paul Gauguin offers Avoya Travel guests an onboard experience that includes an extension of the islands’ informal and relaxing environment – coupled with the cruise line’s five-star service, comfort, and luxury. Among the ship’s most luxurious attributes include spacious suites and cabins (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, and an extensive spa for complete pampering comfort.
