Pearls of the Society Islands

  • Destination:
  • Departure Date: 20/12/25
  • Duration: 7 Nights
Overview

Designed specifically to glide in luxury through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Once on board, guests enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (more than 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 Gauguin and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.

Entertainment

When you travel onboard The Gauguin, you won’t spend your days at sea simply biding your time until we arrive at our next destination. On our ship, every day (and night!) brings new and exciting opportunities for entertainment and enrichment.

From the casino to afternoon tea, music lounge to simply lounging in the outside pool and taking in the sun, there are more ways to relax onboard than may be expected from a ship of this size.

Piano Bar

The Piano Bar is the place to go if you’re meeting new friends for a pre-show drink, checking out a cocktail demonstration or simply want to take in the soothing tunes of the onboard pianist. This space has been ensconced in lush botanically-illustrated Tahitian landscapes and dark wood paneling, as well as new carpets and textiles. Marble table tops, velvet-covered stuffed stools cinched with leather detailing and newly plush armchairs and sofas provide a comfortable setting to relax and enjoy the onboard ambiance.

Reading Nook
The former casino has been replaced with a Reading Nook so that you might steal away for some quiet time during the day, and enjoy a cocktail with piano accompaniment in the evenings.
Sun Deck
There is nothing like basking in the sun next to the Pool with the magnificent Mount Otemanu of Bora Bora filling your viewscape. Elegant new textiles, loungers, tables and armchairs make this space a very lucrative place to relax and take in French Polynesia’s grandeur while you receive five-star service from the pool bar.
La Palette

La Palette on deck 8 at the back of the ship offers an indoor/outdoor option for grabbing your favorite refreshment and taking in the views. Outside you will find modern armchairs, tables and sofas to lounge upon while the sun slips below the horizon. The interior entrance to La Palette features a hall lined with carved wood hibiscus-motifed panels and new glass doors featuring chiseled wooden Tahitian to’ere (drum) sticks for handles. New carpets, textiles and furniture adorn the space in woven textures and deep-lagoon and neutral. After the evening’s entertainment in the Grand Salon, you may find yourself on the newly refinished dance floor, basking in the aural shimmer of an updated lighting and sound system.

Grand Salon

When you first enter the Grand Salon to take in the evening’s entertainment you’ll notice the elegant new textured backsplash at the bar—which also sports new leather stools, and furniture. The vibrant wood theater bench seating is adorned with woven fabric cushioning and theater armchairs are clad in solid velvets and modern graphic patterns. The stage is bordered by illustrated Tahitian landscapes that pair well with the chic new carpeting and curtains. If you opt to learn some traditional Tahitian moves from our onboard entertainers, Les Gauguin and Les Gauguines, it will be on a newly refinished dance floor and showcased by an advanced sound and lighting system.

La Boutique

Just steps from your stateroom, find the perfect memento of your South Pacific cruise, like genuine Tahitian black pearl jewelry exclusively designed for Paul Gauguin Cruises, Tahitian vanilla, local arts and handicrafts, souvenir apparel, and more. It’s also the perfect place to pick up any necessary sundries or toiletries, like swimwear, beach attire, sunscreen, and batteries.

Promenade Deck
Decorative screens featuring Paul Gauguin’s artwork appear throughout the ship, one of which resides in Fare Tahiti, the ship’s “museum.” Passengers have the opportunity to navigate through 150 paintings and read annotations on Paul Gauguin’s work. All promenades feature new carpets, furniture and textiles. You’ll pass teak wood-topped coffee-colored ceramic tables, decorative porcelain and vibrant pottery on your way to the ship’s restaurants, boutique and spa. Oak wood and natural fiber sconces and wood blinds adorn the walls and windows. The photo gallery showcases imagery from your cruise on three Mac displays along the 5th floor promenade.
Pool and Pool Bar
Soak in the South Pacific sunshine with a day spent lounging by our outdoor pool. Cool off in the refreshing water, grab the drink of the day from the Pool Bar, or take in the scenery from a comfortable lounge chair.
Crew Show
The crew members onboard The Gauguin are certainly experts at providing first-class service to our guests, but they also boast many other talents that we’re proud to showcase in our crew show. Every voyage offers something different, but you’re always guaranteed a night of amazing entertainment, much of which showcases the unique cultures of our crew members’ home countries.
