One of the biggest winners at the 2018 Travvy Awards was Paul Gauguin Cruises.

The cruise line earned a gold statuette as the Best Cruise Line for the Australia/New Zealand/South Pacific region. Princess Cruises took home the silver Travvy Award in the same category.

The victory for Paul Gauguin Cruises marks the second straight year the company took home the gold Travvy Award in the Best Cruise Line for the Australia/New Zealand/South Pacific region category.

The cruise line also earned two silver statuettes last year for Best Cruise Ship - Mid-size and Best Cruise Line - Ship Luxury, both for the m/s Paul Gauguin.

"We are honored to receive the Gold Travvy for 'Best Cruise Line Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific'," Paul Gauguin Cruises president Diane Moore said in a statement. "Thank you to the travel agent community for this special recognition. We look forward to continuing to share our unique itineraries, expertise, and authentic experiences in Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific with our guests."
