The Premier Ship of French Polynesia
For over 25 years, the m/s Paul Gauguin has been the premier ship dedicated to the South Pacific — purpose-built to sail the shallow turquoise lagoons of French Polynesia and reach ports that larger ships simply cannot. With just 330 guests and a crew of 217, this intimate small-ship offers a relaxed, refined atmosphere where warm Polynesian hospitality meets all-inclusive luxury. Every fare includes fine dining, complimentary wines and spirits, a watersports marina with kayaks and paddleboards, and the signature Les Gauguines — a troupe of local entertainers who bring the culture of the islands to life onboard. From seven-night voyages round-trip from Papeete to extended explorations of the Marquesas and Tuamotus, the m/s Paul Gauguin is the most authentic way to experience the magic of Tahiti and her islands.
