A luxurious and award-winning cruise ship, m/s Paul Gauguin can be found cruising year-round in the South Pacific. In fact, this ship was designed specifically to sail in the shallow seas of Tahiti and French Polynesia. Being an all-inclusive product, complimentary beverages including fine wines and premium spirits, soft drinks, bottled water, coffee and tea are served throughout the ship. All onboard gratuities are also included in the pricing of each m/s Paul Gauguin cruise.

With an intimate size of 19,200 tons, m/s Paul Gauguin can take its guests to ports of call that cannot be reached by many of the larger cruise ships. This results in fantastic itineraries that some of the other cruise lines simply are unable to offer.

A $7 million renovation was done to m/s Paul Gauguin, completed in February 2012. Enhancements throughout the vessel included new flooring and replaced carpeting, elegant new furniture, new window treatments and decorative wall panels, and new signage. All suites and staterooms feature new teak railings on the balconies and new bathroom flooring. The entrance to La Veranda restaurant was redesigned, with refinished indoor and outdoor furniture, and solar shades throughout. Other changes include an expanded casino, a new buffet area in Le Grill, refurbished dance floors, and a new built-in banquette.

The on board atmosphere on a m/s Paul Gauguin cruise is informal and relaxing, and pairs excellently with the five-star service (provided by Gauguines, a local Tahitian group), and gourmet cuisine served on each cruise.

Accommodations are spacious aboard m/s Paul Gauguin, as over 70% of the staterooms and suites have a private balcony. All staterooms that don't have a balcony will at least have an oceanview. Guests staying in category B and above accommodations have butler service and an in-suite bar setup.

Some of the most popular public spaces aboard m/s Paul Gauguin are the watersports marina (located at the rear of the ship), the ship's three open-seating dining venues (two elegant restaurants and one pool-side grill), casino, show lounge, and an award-winning luxury spa.

Guests that would prefer to take it easy and dine in the comfort and privacy of their stateroom or suite can take advantage of the 24-hour room service that's available aboard m/s Paul Gauguin.
