This luxurious, all-inclusive ship named for the French artist who captured 19th-century Tahiti on canvas is the sole vessel operated by Paul Gauguin Cruises and is based year-round in the romantic South Pacific. The ship sails 7-to-16-night itineraries roundtrip from French Polynesia’s capital, Papeete to the Society Islands, the Tuamotus, the Marquesas, the Cook Islands, Fiji, and Tonga. The service on board is very personal, with a crew member for every 1.5 guests and butler service in higher-category staterooms and suites. Paul Gauguin accommodates no more than 330 guests and all accommodations have views of the turquoise water with nearly 70 percent of staterooms and suites offering private outdoor space. A 2021 redesign by Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel enhanced the ship’s South Pacific allure with dark woods, lagoon-inspired blue and green hues, and textural fabrics.
