The m/s Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti and French Polynesia.

Paul Gauguin Cruises operates the award-winning luxury cruise ship m/s Paul Gauguin, providing a luxury cruise experience tailored to the wonders of Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacific.

Since its maiden voyage in 1998, the m/s Paul Gauguin has been the longest continually operating year-round luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific. 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.

Spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues and an extensive spa are among her luxurious attributes. The atmosphere aboard ship radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. And the ship’s beloved troupe of Gauguines—a local Tahitian group who serve as cruise staff, entertainers and storytellers—add the unique personality of Tahiti to every cruise.

Built at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint Nazaire, France, the ship can accommodate 332 guests with a staff of 215 and is one of the top Exclusive Charter and Incentive Group venues in the industry.

Designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the ship is 513 feet long, 71 feet wide and has a draft of 16.9 feet, allowing it to venture into the small ports that larger ships can’t reach and effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas.

The m/s Paul Gauguin has undergone more than $25 million in enhancements since its inaugural sail in 1998. Since 1998, the m/s Paul Gauguin has completed more than 500 South Pacific cruises and served more than 140,000 guests, including more than 12,000 honeymooners.

The m/s Paul Gauguin offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort and luxury.
