Paul Gauguin Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

This was my 6th cruise on everything from a converted fishing trawler to a mega ship. We chose this cruise because we wished to visit a variety of South Pacific islands (Cook and Society).

The cons include: 1) ...

Everything about this cruise was wonderful, including staff, food, and excursions.

My partner and I just completed an 11 night cruise through Society and Cook Islands. The experience was phenomenal. This was not our first time in these islands but it was our first time cruising. The Paul Gauguin is a lovely luxury ship. Great food, clean and pleasant decor, extremely friendly and efficient staff - especially the dive operation, room service and wait staff. Of course, the ports ...

Try a different cruise around French Polynesia and visit different ports. The cabin was large with a sofa. There was a full bath tub in the bathroom and plenty of space of the shelves for personal items. The was a small desk to place my laptop and other work items. The ship is small with a capacity of about 700 passengers. One main dining room and a specialty dining room. There is a ...
