The Gauguin Experience
Inspiration comes in many forms and places, such as games of chance in the casino, cocktails and dancing under the stars at La Palette lounge, or mellower moments in our piano bar. If solitude beckons, you can fi nd plenty of cozy nooks to read a book or simply rest in quiet contemplation.
T e Gauguin is more than a cruise ship sailing from one island to another—it’s also a hub of South Pacifi c culture, education, and entertainment. T e ship’s enrichment program features presentations by renowned lecturers and local experts on topics such as archaeology, science, and art. T rough a partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), T e Gauguin will host the Wildlife Discovery Series, a program of lectures on select sailings by ecologists, naturalists, and marine biologists who will enlighten guests about marine science and wildlife conservation in the South Pacifi c and beyond. During the summer and holiday season, Stewards of Nature, a WCS experiential
family program, is off ered and invites guests to discover and value nature through hands-on, interactive learning for children ages 7-17, as well as family members. But the heartbeat of T e Gauguin lies in the talented Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins—onboard ambassadors and cultural tours de force. Versatile and energetic, these multi-faceted entertainers not only dance, sing and play musical instruments, but are also greeters, crafts facilitators, storytellers, and dance and language instructors. Under their friendly guidance, you can learn to make shell jewelry, weave fl owers into heis or palm fronds into baskets, tie a pareo, perform a hip-swaying Tahitian dance, or even master a few words of the Tahitian language.
Every voyage is unique, with stunning shows and presentations to suit all mindsets. If you’re celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, a special Polynesian blessing ceremony will leave you with incredible memories to last a lifetime. But for more tangible souvenirs, visit La Boutique
for duty-free treasures, or the Photo Shop for visual memories and professional service.
At night, Le Grand Salon, a tiered theater with multiple functions, hosts an array of scintillating performances by renowned musicians, Polynesian song-and-dance troupes, and the ship’s very own talented crew. Watch local Mamas and Papas bring ancient legends to life through song and dance, snap your fi ngers to popular show tunes, or simply sit back and enjoy the rhythms—from classical and opera to rock.
