The South Pacific aboard Le Paul Gauguin

Le Paul Gauguin was designed to sail in the South Pacific archipelagos: her shallow draft enables close access to lagoons and remote islands. reduced draft allows the ship to get much closer to shallower lagoons and remote islands.

Totally renovated in 2019, she exudes a unique Polynesian atmosphere, thanks mainly to the Gauguines and Gauguins and their genenrous hospitality. On board and ashore, musicians and dancers showcase Polynesian culture, while the cuisine, service, and design of the 165 lagoon-view staterooms and suites are inspired by the island way of life.
