“French Polynesia is a multi-layered destination unto itself, and our unmatched roster of itineraries reveals the nuanced cultural differences and natural beauty of each archipelago with immersive insight,” said Samuel Chamberlain, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT (parent company of the line). “For over two decades, we have cultivated deep relationships with the communities here and that translates into meaningful discovery ashore for our guests. The transformative experience continues onboard with French-inspired local cuisine, a casually elegant ambiance, and the genuine hospitality that have been the signature hallmarks of The Gauguin Experience for more than 25 years.”
Of the 38 voyages on offer in 2026, nearly 50 percent are 7-night journeys giving discerning travelers plenty of convenient options to visit this bucket-list destination. The balance of 10-, 11- and 14-night voyages explore the atolls of the Tuamotus, the mystique of the Marquesas, and the unspoiled, tropical beauty of the Cook Islands. Itineraries are distinguished by overnights and extended stays in iconic isles, opening a world of immersive discovery.
