Outdoor Pool and Pool Bar

Enjoy a refreshing dip in our onboard swimming pool, located under the sky on Deck 8 aboard The Gauguin or Deck 5 aboard The Moana. Or perhaps you’ll simply relax poolside in a deck chair, with a good book and a beverage from the Pool Bar. Aboard The Gauguin, you can also take advantage of our onboard SCUBA lessons. The Gauguin is the only luxury ship in French Polynesia to offer PADI certification on board for novice divers, as well as refresher courses.

Watersports Marina

Watersports are a highlight of the Paul Gauguin Cruises’ experience. On The Gauguin, the watersports marina makes it convenient and easy for guests to make the most of their time on the water.

Aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin
Aboard The Gauguin, a specially designed retractable watersports platform enables guests to descend to sea level, where they can conveniently hop aboard a windsurfer or paddleboard, launch a kayak, or set out for an optional SCUBA diving expedition. The Gauguin’s SCUBA diving excursions are designed for all levels of experience, and we are the only luxury ship in the French Polynesian islands to offer PADI certification onboard for novice divers, as well as refresher courses.
