About The Ship

Click here for Paul Gauguin’s deck plan

Specifically designed to glide in through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, and with a guest capacity of just 330, The Gauguin boasts one of the highest crew-to-guest ratio of any luxury cruise ship at 1:1.5.

You’ll enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (nearly 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service.  Life on The Gauguin also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Les Gauguins and Les Gauguines – local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers and storytellers.
