The Gauguin Experience

Welcome to The Gauguin Experience, where every moment is a masterpiece of discovery painted in the colors of Tahiti—and signed by the artful authenticity of the m/s Paul Gauguin. Purposefully designed to navigate the legendary lagoons of Bora Bora and beyond, this small, elegant ship makes French Polynesia its home. Indeed, The Gauguin is an extension of the islands themselves, an overwater “bungalow” that sails from one fabled destination to the next in award-winning, all-inclusive comfort.
