Paul Gauguin Cruises

Company History

Paul Gauguin Cruises was launched in 1998 with a singular focus: to offer immersive, luxurious voyages through French Polynesia and the South Pacific. Named after the famed French artist who found inspiration in Tahiti, the cruise line operates the m/s Paul Gauguin—a small, elegant ship purpose-built for navigating shallow lagoons and remote island ports. Now part of the Ponant family, Paul Gauguin Cruises continues to deliver intimate, culturally rich experiences in one of the world’s most breathtaking regions.
