Paul Gauguin Cruises

Your Dream Vacation is Here

m/s Paul Gauguin

Built in 1998, the m/s Paul Gauguin has been in service since the company first set sail through Tahiti, Fiji and the South Pacific. When this luxurious ship was built, it was designed specifically so that it could easily access the shallow waters and narrow passages that prevent larger ships from reaching smaller ports. Today, the focus is providing travellers with a memorable and rewarding experience.

Cabins and Staterooms

The m/s Paul Gauguin can accommodate up to 332 guests. Staterooms range in size from 200 sqft (18.5sqm) to as big as 588 sqft (54.6sqm) and almost 70% of the suites and staterooms on board offer a private balcony. Other features of the m/s Paul Gauguin suites and staterooms include an in-suite bar setup and butler service for certain categories, spacious bathrooms with full-size tubs in most of the suites, and a queen-size bed with luxury European linens, feather-down duvets, robes and cotton slippers. Room service is complimentary, and all accommodations are ocean view. To see more on the cabins and suites available on board the m/s Paul Gauguin please click here.
