Named after the French artist, the Paul Gauguin specialises in cruises that follow its namesake’s travels in French Polynesia. There are original Gauguin works on board, and the way the ship is decorated gives it a very exotic feel.
A small ship, carrying 320 passengers, it is able to visit regions that the big ships can’t get to. This is an upmarket product, which combines excellent attention to detail when it comes to service with a relaxed, informal approach.
Suitability
Passengers are multi-national, well-travelled and generally would not be seen dead on a huge, mass-market mega-ship.
Suitable for people who want to travel alongside those who share an appreciation of and interest in art and culture.
Hints & Tips
Tips are included.
There is butler service in some suites.
You must pay $10 to play in the casino.
There is a water sports platform at the back of the ship.
A good choice for passengers who want to spend more time in the destination rather than the ship as Paul Gauguin often stays overnight in ports of call.
