Paul Gauguin Cruises has completed a $7 million renovation of the Tahiti-based Paul Gauguin luxury cruise ship. The renovation, the most extensive in the ship’s 14-year history, took place during a 10-night crossing from Tahiti to Brisbane, Australia, as well as during the 11-night dry-dock that followed.

Renovations throughout the ship include new flooring and carpeting, new furniture, new window treatments and decorative wall panels, and new signage. All suites and staterooms have new teak balcony railings and new bathroom flooring. Restaurants also were refreshed. La Veranda has a redesigned entrance, refinished indoor and outdoor furniture, and solar shades. Le Grill boasts new decorative partitions and divider walls, as well as a new buffet area and new lighting. L’Etoile also features a redesigned entrance in addition to video equipment for conferences.

On Promenade Deck 5, the casino was slightly expanded. Deck 6 received a new integrated display case for books and art. La Palette features a decorative stone band along the front of the bar and an updated lighting system, as well as new outdoor furniture. Le Grand Salon and La Palette offer refurbished dance floors. Paul Gauguin Cruises also recently acquired a second ship and plans to expand its itineraries.
