Paul Gauguin
Sailing Dates:
 Like Paul Gauguin setting out for Tahiti and
Polynesia, we seek that mysterious world of light, free and beautiful,
without thoughts of tomorrow. To this spirit we dedicate the 320-guest m/s
Paul Gauguin. Discover a world where mind and body are in harmony with
nature and the spirit soars. Where every morning, you awake refreshed in a
setting where body and spirit are revitalized and rejuvenated. Sail with us
aboard the new m/s Paul Gauguin and share our passion for the most beautiful
islands on earth.
The origins of the m/s Paul Gauguin lie in France with the vision of a
luxury vessel designed to sail in French Polynesia on a year-round basis.
The owners joined forces with Radisson Seven Seas Cruises to develop this
vision and dream. While remaining faithful to its French origins, the m/s
Paul Gauguin incorporates the six-star standards of service and comfort for
which Radisson Seven Seas is renowned, and features spacious staterooms (50%
with private balconies), a state-of-the-art marina, single seating dining,
an extensive spa and much more. The ship was built in the prestigious
Chantiers de l'Atlantique in St. Nazaire, France, made her inaugural
Polynesian cruise in January 1998, and proudly flies the French flag.
Sailing on seven-night voyages from Papeete, Tahiti, the m/s Paul Gauguin
visits five idyllic islands which the artist celebrated over and over again
in his paintings. This remarkable vessel is an extension of the informal,
relaxing environment of Polynesia, interpreted with American attention to
luxury and comfort and French flair for casual sophistication. Designed to
be in harmony with the natural beauty of the islands and its culture, the
atmosphere aboard radiates warmth, informality and openness. Here, the
constraints of formal wear, tuxedos and ties are forgotten and the only
dress code is relaxation.
So, come join us in our island paradise which is closer than you imagined...
and more than you dreamed.
Activities
- Fare Tahiti Gallery, featuring
Polynesian art and artifacts, will introduce you to the islands'
colorful heritage

- Carita, for the ultimate refreshment of
body and soul, the premier name in beauty in Paris, to create and

- Watersports are a highlight of the
Polynesian experience. The ship's small size allows it to navigate in
shallow lagoons and narrow channels where larger ships may not sail.
With the specially designed retractable watersports platform, guests may
descend to sea level where they can conveniently hop aboard a
windsurfer, launch a kayak, try a little waterskiing or set out for a
SCUBA diving expedition. A scuba certification program is offered on
board.
Entertainment
Watch spectacular performances such as an
electrifying Polynesian show featuring the arts of the islands in the main
lounge. One night it might be the soaring cappella harmonies of himene
songs. Another might feature a thrilling performance of ote'a - a complex
line dance accompanied by drums telling the ancestral legends of the
Polynesian people. Later on in your cruise, you'll have a chance to learn
how to dance in true Polynesian style from our wonderful Gauguines
performers.Sing along at the piano bar
in this spectacular observation lounge atop the ship. At night it's
transformed into a romantic nightclub where a chanteuse sings the Parisian
blues and couples sway on the indoor/outdoor dance floor.
On any evening, pulses run high in the Le
Casino with its blackjack tables and roulette wheel. Or when Cognac and
cigars are in order, the Connoisseur Club provides a warmly relaxing
environment, much like a favorite private club in London. Have a glass of
port at the bar or pick your favorite smoke from the humidor.
