Luxury comes Standard aboard Paul Gauguin Cruises!

While cruising aboard the award-winning luxury small ship, the m/s Paul Gauguin, you can expect nothing less than extraordinary.

Onboard Paul Gauguin Cruises

Every meal aboard Paul Gauguin is an experience! In the dining room of the La Veranda, you can watch the wraparound ocean views while enjoying a changing selection of buffet breakfast and lunch items and a la carte options. Make a reservation for dinner, as it turns into a reservation-only dining venue during the evenings! The Le Grill is casual dining near the pool, where you can enjoy a buffet-style breakfast and grilled lunch favorites. You can also enjoy Polynesian specialties for dinner in a relaxed environment, reservation only. You’ll experience expertly prepared dishes at the L-Etoile in the beautiful main dining room, paired with complimentary wine.

Entertainment onboard is a one-of-a-kind experience you can only find on Paul Gauguin. Les Gauguins and Les Gauguines are a troupe of Tahitian hosts and entertainers onboard that bring the spirit of Polynesia to life; you can learn local handicrafts of the culture and enjoy the retellings of ancestral legends and traditional songs. You'll find spectacular performances at the La Grand Salon, such as live piano music, Broadway show tunes, or rock music at night. There’s even a crew show that varies on every voyage, which showcases the unique cultures of the crew members' home countries. During the day, the La Grand Salon hosts lectures from a roster of anthropologists, archeologists, and marine biologists.
