Paul Gauguin Cruises cruises

Paul Gauguin Cruises is a boutique luxury cruise line operating a single intimate ship through the islands of French Polynesia, Tahiti, and the South Pacific year-round. Named for the 19th-century Post-Impressionist painter who spent a decade immersed in Polynesian life, the line is now a subsidiary of French expedition operator Compagnie du Ponant, which acquired it in 2019. The line's singular focus on the South Pacific—with seasonal extensions to Fiji, the Cook Islands, Tonga, and Australia/New Zealand—positions it as a specialist choice for travelers seeking deep immersion in one of the world's most remote and storied cruising regions.
