This Paul Gauguin Canadian travellers FAQ answers common questions about booking from Canada, Canadian resident rates, flights, currency, insurance, documents and payment timing.
PaulGauguin.ca is Canadian-based, but we help travellers from Canada, the United States and beyond. For Canadians, our goal is to make the full South Pacific trip easier to understand before booking.
Canadian Planning Factors
Canadian travellers should compare more than the cruise fare.
Important planning factors include:
- Departure city
- Flight routing
- Currency exchange
- Credit card fees
- Canadian resident rates, if available
- Insurance
- Deposit and final payment timing
- Passport validity
- Pre-cruise hotel nights
- Post-cruise resort stays
- Provincial consumer protection considerations
These details can change the true cost and comfort of the trip.
Canadian Resident Rates
Canadian resident rates may be available on selected sailings, but they are not guaranteed.
They may depend on:
- Sailing date
- Itinerary
- Stateroom category
- Current promotion
- Space available
- Proof of residency
- Booking terms
These rates should always be confirmed at the time of quote.
Flights from Canada
Canadian travellers may depart from Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal or another gateway.
The best routing depends on schedule, connection risk, price and arrival timing. A pre-cruise hotel in Tahiti is often worth considering.
