offers seven- to 14-night cruises to the South Pacific, including French Polynesia and Tahiti, the tropical paradise that inspired French Impressionist Paul Gauguin to create some of his most renowned masterpieces. Originally owned by Regent Seven Seas, the ship—recently acquired by luxury resort expert Pacific Beachcomber—was specifically designed to sail the shallow South Seas.
With a maximum capacity of 332 guests, the intimate m/s Paul Gauguin combines the informal, relaxing atmosphere of the islands with 5-star service, comfort and luxury. The ship boasts spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies) as well as an onboard watersports marina, three open-seating dining venues, an extensive spa, a fitness center, a casino and a piano bar. Paul Gauguin’s all-inclusive pricing includes everything from delicious cuisine and beverages to a state-of-the-art retractable watersports marina, as well as exclusive access to the private islet of Motu Mahana, off the coast of Taha’a. The ship’s beloved troupe of Gauguines—a local Tahitian group who serve as cruise staff, entertainers and storytellers—add a unique Tahiti personality to every cruise.
The m/s Paul Gauguin sails year-round to Tahiti and the Society Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, Marquesas, New Zealand, Tonga and Tuamotus. Price points vary depending on the itinerary and accommodations. The company pays 10% commission, but also honors prior commission levels with Regent based on past booking activity.
