Paul Gauguin Romantic Cruises Reviews

The itinerary-Lautoka and Suva Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu-all away from the usual haunts and ports-of-call for the Paul Gauguin. None disappointed. The highlight- backcountry excursion in Vanuatu from which we returned covered in ash and dirt. sore from the impromptu ride in the back of a pick-up truck but exhiliarated from the sights and sounds of and energy of an actively erupting volcano ...

We are not huge cruise people but have done Celebraty X to Galapagos, Silver Seas to Antartica and this one. Food in large restaurant was a solid B, tho they rushed you through to get you out. Two other restaurants, don't bother, over promise under deliver Cabins an A- because our sofa was worn out and collapsed Service in cabin was good but lacked detail with our butler. Deck ...

This was our first time on the Paul Gauguin, although we have sailed on over 30 other ships. We chose this itinerary specifically because it added Tonga and Fiji on to the typical French Polynesia route. Overall, we enjoyed our trip very much. There is a lot to like about the Paul Gauguin: intimate size, very good food, nice cabins, friendly staff,etc. There are three dinner restaurants, all ...

We've travelled on other cruise lines and ships so this review is relative to those cruises. The price we paid was more than twice as much as we have paid on other lines for similar accommodation. The cabins and balconies are no bigger but the food however was better and the service impeccable. There are lots of staff and they go out of their way to help you, for example, taking buffet plates out ...

From the moment we landed in Papeete we were greeted by representatives. They were very well organized and our transfer and check in to the Intercontinental Hotel was very smooth. We enjoyed the facilities there for 2 days before boarding the Paul Gaugin. The boarding process was seamless and we were in our cabins with our luggage in no time at all. From the moment we were on the ship the crew ...

My two daughters and I took a cruise on the Paul Gaugin for 7 days. Before the cruise we stayed at the Intercontinental in Papeete for 2 days. Upon arrival in Papeete we were greeted by the company who arranged the vacation. They took good care of us and we were transferred to the hotel, where we quickly taken to our room. All of this happened with great warmth and professionalism. We were ...

Everything about the cruise itself was pretty much wonderful, but since I had included airfare and a procures package plus a post cruise dayroom we will cover it all in the review. Air Tahiti Nuis counter does not open until 8pm so don't bother getting there early in LAX. We flew out on a Wednesday so the flight was not full. The boarding process is to fill the plane from the back to the ...

Before boarding I made an error by reading the very few negative reviews about this ship. It left me apprehensive about our upcoming cruise. It did not take long to realise I would have been better to read the several thousand possative reviews. The food was fantastic and the free wine and cocktails just kept coming and coming. The crew were mixed but most dining room and housekeeping ...

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 ...
