Picture this … You and your love, hand in hand, sailing through the impossibly blue waters of French Polynesia, the subtle scent of frangipani in the air, and nothing but time to soak in the beauty of the moment. That’s exactly what Paul Gauguin Cruises delivers — an intimate, immersive experience designed for romance, whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, or simply escaping reality together.
A Ship Built for Love
The m/s Paul Gauguin isn’t just a cruise ship—it’s a floating paradise. With just 330 guests, the atmosphere is intimate, creating the perfect setting for quiet moments and unforgettable memories. The ship’s design mirrors the warmth and charm of Polynesia, from its cozy suites and private balconies to the personal service that makes you feel like the only two people on board.
The Magic of Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins
Nothing enhances a romantic getaway like authentic, heartfelt hospitality. The ship’s Polynesian hosts, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, bring the spirit of the islands to life with traditional music, dance, and culture. Whether it’s a serenade at sunset or learning to weave a flower crown together, these special touches make your journey feel deeply personal and connected to the destination.
A Celebration of Love
Paul Gauguin Cruises knows how to celebrate romance. If you’re honeymooning, expect special touches like a Polynesian blessing ceremony. Celebrating an anniversary? A private dinner or couples’ spa treatment will make the occasion even more special. No matter the milestone, this journey will leave you with cherished memories that last a lifetime.
Candlelit Dinners & Champagne Toasts
Every meal aboard Paul Gauguin Cruises is an opportunity to indulge, but for couples, the dining experience is elevated to a whole new level. Imagine a candlelit dinner under the stars, fresh seafood paired with fine wines. With gourmet cuisine inspired by both French and Polynesian flavours, every bite is a celebration.
Secluded Beaches & Private Moments
What’s more romantic than having a private island escape? The cruise offers exclusive access to Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin’s private islet, where couples can enjoy pristine beaches, shaded loungers, and a floating bar serving tropical cocktails. Whether you’re snorkelling hand in hand, lounging under the palms, or sipping champagne as the sun dips below the horizon, every moment feels straight out of a dream.
Unforgettable Shore Excursions
Beyond the ship, the romance continues with breathtaking excursions designed for two. Take a private catamaran cruise in Bora Bora’s legendary lagoon, experience a traditional Tahitian blessing, or explore the lush landscapes of Moorea. Whether you’re adventure seekers or simply want to soak in the serenity of these islands, the options are endless.
Set Sail for Romance
So if you are looking to reconnect, celebrate, or simply escape, there’s truly no better setting than French Polynesia—and no better way to experience it than with Paul Gauguin Cruises. With its intimate ambiance, authentic island experiences, and breathtakingly beautiful destinations, it’s a journey where love takes center stage.
