Paul Gauguin Cruises Offers Romance Options for Couples

Published on: May 4, 2010

Paul Gauguin Cruises, operator of the Paul Gauguin luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific, is targeting couples in search of romance. The “Romantic Escapades” package gives guests the opportunity to disembark for a night to spend an evening in an overwater bungalow at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa. Couples can enjoy treatments at the resort’s Deep Ocean Spa, which boasts a glass-bottom overwater couple’s bungalow, and candlelight dinners for two on a private motu. The InterContinental Bora Bora is also home to the only overwater wedding chapel in French Polynesia. A variety of commitment and wedding packages are available for both beachside and chapel ceremonies. The resort’s most popular ceremony package includes traditional gowns, a Tifaifai quilt (a traditional Tahitian wedding quilt symbolizing a couple’s union), a local priest, dancers and musicians, tropical flower arrangements, leis and crowns, as well as a wedding certificate made of traditional tapa.

Onboard the Paul Gauguin, romantic options await couples, including spa treatments at the new Deep Nature Spa, sunset dinners on the stateroom balcony, private dives and island excursions, in-stateroom bottle of champagne, celebratory confections, and a Polynesian blessing ceremony performed by Les Gauguines, the ship’s own Polynesian entertainers.
