Air and Land Supplemental Programs


Paul Gauguin Cruises is pleased to offer guests the opportunity to participate in programs that incorporate the air and land components of their travel with their cruise. For cruises on the Paul Gauguin we offer an Air/Sea Program and a Land Program, and for cruises on the Tere Moana, we offer Paul Gauguin Personalized Services. Details of these programs are set forth below.


Air/Sea Program for Cruises on the Paul Gauguin


Our Air/Sea Program for cruises on the Paul Gauguin incorporates air travel from Los Angeles as part of the package. Other designated gateway cities are available for a supplement. The air transportation is based on economy class or coach travel using carriers and routing determined by PGC.


Pre-Cruise: For 10-night Tuamotus & Society Islands cruises, the program includes an afternoon flight departure from Los Angeles, evening arrival in Papeete, and transfer to the pier for embarkation. For all other cruises, the program includes a late evening departure from Los Angeles, early morning arrival in Papeete, a pre-reserved morning hotel room upon arrival, lunch, and afternoon transfer to the pier for embarkation.


Post-Cruise: For cruises disembarking in Papeete, the program includes brunch onboard The Gauguin, a brief Tahiti tour as guests are taken from the pier to the hotel, afternoon hotel accommodations, and a late evening flight departure from Papeete to Los Angeles.


Hotel Rooms: Guests participating in our standard Air/Sea Program will be provided standard rooms at one of Tahiti’s top resort hotels, as applicable.


Schedules: Schedules in the Air/Sea program are based on the schedules of PGC’s airline partners at the time of brochure printing.


Air Concierge: We offer guests the opportunity to request changes to their flight itineraries and/or travel dates. This service is available on all deposited bookings for a $100 per-person fee per change, plus any applicable service charges and/or supplier fees. Please note that fee does not apply when requesting a standard upgrade to First or Business Class.


Upgrades: Air upgrades may be available for both the trans-Pacific portion of the flight and domestic legs to the international gateway city. Please contact reservations for details and pricing.


Availability and Changes to Program: The Air/Sea Program is subject to availability at the time of booking and is subject to change without notice.


Land Programs for Cruises on the Paul Gauguin


All Paul Gauguin land and hotel program prices are based on double occupancy, per person. Single and triple room prices are available upon request. All programs include: transfers as applicable, inter- island flights or ferry in French Polynesia where necessary with corresponding price adjustments, breakfast daily, deluxe hotel accommodations and taxes, and PGC’s hospitality service in Tahiti. PGC reserves the right to substitute hotels of similar quality when and where necessary. Hotels, flights and transfers are based on components at time of printing and may change as necessary. Domestic flight/ ferry arrangements for island programs beyond Papeete are made by local ground operators in Tahiti, and flight/ferry schedules are not always available in advance. Requests for additional nights may only be confirmed if flight schedules permit.

Additional Information


As the air fares negotiated by PGC are very restricted, all tickets issued are nonendorsable 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 or PGPS are refundable only to PGC or PGPS. Any unused portion of the flight ticket must be returned to PGC or PGPS, as appropriate. 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 use charter air service for guest air transportation. PGC and PGPS also reserve 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 stay 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 or cancellation 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’s Air/Sea Program or do not purchase transfer arrangements from PGC or PGPS will be responsible for their own transfer arrangements to and from the ship.


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


PGC and PGPS are 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.
