Paul Gauguin Cruises

Paul Gauguin Cruises: Authentic Polynesia and Timeless Luxury
At the turn of the century, the tropical shores of French Polynesia inspired Impressionist Paul Gauguin to create some of his most renowned masterpieces. Today, his namesake, the 330-guest m/s Paul Gauguin, invites discerning guests to explore, enrich, and escape in the same romantic Tahitian paradise.

Discover the Difference: Cruising with Purpose
Paul Gauguin Cruises operates the award-winning, luxury small ship m/s Paul Gauguin, providing an exceptional cruise experience with a focus on deep cultural immersion. We are dedicated to introducing you to authentic Polynesia—a commitment that defines our purpose.

The Gauguin: Your Intimate Sanctuary at Sea
The m/s Paul Gauguin was specifically designed to glide in luxury through the shallow, turquoise seas of the South Pacific, making her a small-ship cruiser’s dream. Her intimate size allows her to deliver travelers to secluded ports and private islands that are inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious.
