Paul Gauguin Cruises released its 2026 Voyages Brochure.
The new brochure offers an engaging look at the casually elegant lifestyle enjoyed aboard the 330-guest m/s Paul Gauguin on all-inclusive, luxury journeys through the Society Islands, Tuamotus, Marquesas, and Cook Islands.
More of a lifestyle magazine than a traditional brochure, the 86-page anthology features articles from travel writers and testimonials from past guests who share their impressions of the truly immersive itineraries, exceptional culinary offerings, and genuine Polynesian hospitality that continues to earn the line the highest accolades among discerning travelers, including Best Small Cruise in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards. Through storytelling and bespoke imagery, The Gauguin experience is brought to life in an enticing read that inspires an immediate connection to the ship and the destination before the journey even begins.
“Just as The Gauguin is uniquely adept at authentically navigating the Islands of Tahiti from ship to shore, our 2026 Voyages Brochure artfully captures the beauty and discovery of French Polynesia,” said Susan Robison, Vice President, Marketing & Communications, PONANT EXPLORATIONS Group, parent company of Paul Gauguin Cruises. “For over 25 years, Paul Gauguin Cruises has set the standard for destination immersion, offering multiple overnights that allow our guests to deeply connect with the spirit and culture of these cherished islands. As travelers’ interest in authentic and meaningful experiences continues to grow, our voyages remain unmatched in sharing the nuanced treasures of French Polynesia.”
The 2026 Voyages Brochure provides day-by-day insights into the 7- to 14-night itineraries that sail year-round from Papeete, Tahiti. The journeys are distinguished by overnight stays in Bora Bora, Moorea, Fakarava, and Tahiti. A day at Motu Mahata, the line’s private islet located off the coast of Taha’a, is featured on every itinerary and remains a favorite among guests. Journeys include:

Designed specifically to sail the pristine lagoons of the South Seas, The Gauguin, which will enter dry dock in February 2025 for a multi-million dollar refurbishment, is at home amidst the idyllic isles of French Polynesia. A shallow draft allows for intimate navigation of fabled lagoons and the aft marina invites kayaking and paddle boarding directly from the ship. On board, guests enjoy French-inspired local cuisine in three open-seating venues and the hospitality of a welcoming crew including Les Gauguines – the line’s troupe of local Tahitians who live aboard ship as hosts sharing the stories and traditions of Tahitian culture.
The Gauguin’s casually elegant ambience offers a relaxed atmosphere seamlessly bridging ship and shore. Much like an overwater “bungalow” that sails, the ship’s indulgent suites and spacious staterooms – many with a private balcony – offer the perfect respite for island hopping through paradise.
