The Paul Gauguin was designed specifically for sailing French Polynesia year-round. She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, with six-star service, comfort and luxury. Spacious staterooms (50% with private balconies), a watersports marina, a choice of three single seating dining venues and an extensive spa are among her six-star attributes. The atmosphere aboard radiates warmth and informality. And her beloved troupe of Gauguines - part cruise staff, part entertainers, part storytellers- add the unique personality of French Polynesia to every cruise!
Activities
The delightfully informal, unhurried and unregimented way of life of Polynesia is emulated on board. A visit to the ship's Fare Tahiti Gallery, featuring Polynesian art and artifacts, will introduce you to the islands' colorful heritage. The pool invites you to an early morning dip while you can enjoy a full range of complimentary watersports at the state-of-the-art retractable watersports platform. Each cruise is hosted by a special guest lecturer to provide fascinating insights and a greater understanding of the Polynesian people.
Watersports are a highlight of the Polynesian experience! This ship's small size allows it to navigate in shallow lagoons and narrow channels where larger ships may not sail. With the specially designed retractable watersports platform, you may descend to sea level where you can conveniently hop aboard a windsurfer, launch a kayak, try a little waterskiing or set out for a scuba diving expedition. A scuba certification program is also offered on board.
Play table tennis on deck. Shop for a flower-splashed pareu top to wear to the pool party in the duty-free boutique, or take a lesson in the technique of paddling an outrigger canoe. A wide selection of books is available in the Reading Gallery, and movies may be rented at the Reception Area on a complimentary basis.
