Life
On Board: Sailing on seven-night voyages from Papeete,
Tahiti, the m/s Paul Gauguin visits five idyllic
islands which the artist celebrated over and
over again in his paintings. This remarkable
vessel is an extension of the informal, relaxing
environment of Polynesia, interpreted with American
attention to luxury and comfort and French flair
for casual sophistication. Designed to be in
harmony with the natural beauty of the islands
and its culture, the atmosphere aboard radiates
warmth, informality andess. Here, the
constraints of formal wear, tuxedos and ties
are forgotten and the only dress code is relaxation.
The
delightfully informal, unhurried and unregimented
way of life of Polynesia will be emulated on
board. A visit to the ship’s Fare
Tahiti Gallery, featuring Polynesian art and
artifacts, will introduce you to the islands’
colorful heritage. Each cruise features a special
lecturer to enhance your experience and provide
fascinating insights and a greater understanding
of the Polynesian people. Exciting folkloric
shows featuring the arts of the islands are
given on board.
Watersports
are a highlight of the Polynesian experience.
The ship’s small size allows it to navigate
in shallow lagoons and narrow channels where
larger ships may not sail. The m/s Paul Gauguin
is
specially designed with a retractable watersports
platform, taking guests down to sea level where
they may conveniently hop aboard a Windsurfer,
launch a kayak, try a little water-skiing, or
don dive or snorkeling gear for underwater adventures
