M/S Paul Gauguin Overview

Designed to highlight the beautiful vistas of the South Pacific, m/s Paul Gauguin is perfect for cruising in paradise. With room for only 332 passengers, each stateroom has a veranda or a view of the beautiful surroundings of these secluded islands. At the three dining venues—Le Grill, La Veranda and L'Etoile—you're invited to choose dishes made with local ingredients, or classic Polynesian recipes. The m/s Paul Gauguin even has her own onboard marina where you can use the ship as a jumping off point to kayak, scuba or windsurf in the South Pacific's beautiful and serene turquoise waters.

The m/s Paul Gauguin went through a remarkable transformation in 2021 to present a modern and elegant Polynesian style.
