Paul Gauguin Cruises’ ‘Plan A Cruise Month’ Special Offer

WHY IT RATES: Cruise passengers stand to receive perks and potentially a whole lot more when taking advantage of CLIA’s promotion. -Michael Isenbek, TravelPulse Senior Editor

Paul Gauguin Cruises, operator of the highest-rated and longest continually sailing luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific — the m/s Paul Gauguin — is taking part in Cruise Lines International Association’s “Plan a Cruise Month” campaign, Oct. 1-31, 2016.

This multidimensional campaign is designed as a point of discovery and a way to inspire travelers to plan and book cruise vacations. The cruise industry is featuring exceptional savings, special offers and chances to win dream vacations. 

Those who book a 2016, 2017 or 2018 sailing aboard the Gauguin during “Plan a Cruise Month” will receive $100 per-person Shipboard Credit. This Shipboard Credit can be used to indulge in a spa treatment in Deep Nature Spa, purchase a souvenir in La Boutique or book a shore excursion aboard. Paul Gauguin Cruises is also offering savings of 50 percent off standard all-inclusive cruise fares on all voyages, plus included airfare from Los Angeles on m/s Paul Gauguin itineraries.

To further celebrate “Plan a Cruise Month,” the cruise industry is once again launching #CruiseSmile, a digital and social promotion offering the chance to win a cruise vacation each week during the month of October.

For a chance to win, participants must post a photo featuring a great “Cruise Smile” on Twitter, Instagram, or the campaign page CruiseSmile.org, using #CruiseSmile and #sweepstakes from Oct. 1 through 31, 2016. Participants are encouraged to come back each day to enter and discover cruise vacations corresponding with weekly themes.

At the end of each theme period, a sweepstakes winner will be chosen, and winners may select one of the featured cruises to best fit vacation travel preferences, including a seven-night Tahiti & the Society Islands voyage from Paul Gauguin Cruises.
