Paul Gauguin Cruises has launched sales of its 2023 small-ship sailings. Sun, turquoise seas, idyllic beaches and scenery await. Six itineraries crafted by Paul Gauguin Cruises’ destination experts offer a chance to explore the wonders of the South Pacific and beyond aboard newly renovated luxury small vessel Le Paul Gauguin.
Six idyllic itineraries, from seven to 16 nights are on offer, to explore Tahiti, the Society Islands, and the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Tonga, the Cook Islands and Fiji Islands.
Swimming, diving, kayaking, paddle-boarding and snorkelling are just some of the activities on offer to enjoy to the full these picture postcard landscapes. Aboard, impeccable service and fine cuisine take inspiration from the Polynesian lifestyle. Combining this with privileged moments such as a traditional Polynesian barbecue on private islet, Motu Mahana, off the protected Taha’s Island, completes a voyage to this far-flung paradise.
With 166 staterooms and suites, Le Paul Gauguin was designed to sail in Polynesian waters, her shallow draught allows her to get in close to shallow lagoons. In the heart of paradisical islands and the atolls of French Polynesia and its neighbouring archipelagos, the vessel invites guests to discover the traditional way of life and customs of Polynesia and the South Pacific.
