After an award-studded career producing and directing British television and stage comedies in the U.K., Hughes moved to Los Angeles in 1980. He soon became one of the premier producers and directors of many hit television comedy programs, including The Golden Girls, where he garnered six Emmy nominations and two wins, as well as 3rd Rock from the Sun, and episodes of 8 Simple Rules, Friends, Blossom and That 70s Show.

In this light, Paul Gauguin Cruises reintroduces her identity to coincide with a vision of personal luxury that is the focus of every sailing.
