Air/Sea Program


Paul Gauguin Cruises’ (PGC) Air/Sea Program is limited to the designated gateway cities shown and is subject to availability at the time of booking. All air service is based on Economy Class travel using the carriers and routing of PGC’s choice. PGC reserves the right to use charter air service where applicable. As the air fares negotiated by PGC are very restricted, all tickets issued are non- endorsable and cannot be exchanged for another carrier or alternative routing. Any charges that result from a ticket alteration being made by or on behalf of the Guest will be the sole responsibility of the Guest. All airline tickets issued by PGC are refundable only to PGC. Any unused portion of the flight ticket must be returned to PGC. We will, in turn, determine the amount of refund due, if applicable. Preliminary flight itineraries will be available 60 days prior to sailing. Some airlines restrict the accumulation or use of Frequent Flyer miles in conjunction with fares used by cruise lines.


PGC reserves the right to choose the air carrier and routing from each gateway city and the right to change airline routing for any reason and/or re-route Guests without prior notice to the nearest departure city if adequate air service is unavailable. Occasionally, due to scheduling conflicts, an enroute overnight might be necessary. Should this be the case, PGC will advise you or your travel agent about this at the time of confirming your air schedule. Unless otherwise specified in the cruise program description, any costs associated with the events described above will be the responsibility of the Guest. Enroute overnights as described above are subject to change/cancel due to changes in air scheduling.


As the air fares offered are negotiated at very favorable rates and are usually below published levels, availability is limited. PGC will do its utmost to secure these fares for you. However, the earlier you book your cruise the more likely we will be able to obtain your ticket at this special negotiated fare. All air fares quoted are subject to change without notice. Air fares are not guaranteed until full payment for the cruise/air package has been received and documents/airline tickets have been issued. All Guests who elect not to participate in PGC standard Air/Sea Program or do not purchase transfer arrangements from PGC will be responsible for their own transfer arrangements to and from the ship.


The Travel Desk can assist with post-cruise transfer arrangements once Guests are onboard.


PGC offers all Air/Sea Guests complimentary transfers to and from the airport/ship in conjunction with the air program on the day of the ship’s embarkation/disembarkation, with the exception of where deviations are confirmed by PGC.


PGC is not responsible for any expenses or costs incurred as a result of uncontrolled events, including but not limited to, strikes, changes, delays and inclement weather as they relate to the ship’s schedule or by any change in schedules or routing by the Guest, travel agent or airline. In the case of loss of the airline ticket, the replacement and cost of same will be the responsibility of the Guest. In addition, any flight change requests made within 60 days of departure, such as a new Air/Sea booking or changes to an existing booking, may be subject to a fee.

Air upgrades may be available for both the trans-Pacific portion of the flight as well as for domestic legs to the International Gateway. Please contact reservations for details and pricing.
