T e ship’s detail-oriented staff will tend to all your needs so you can relax, recharge, and rejuvenate without a care in the world.
T e secret to the cruise line's success is its size. T e Gauguin is a small, intimate ship, custom- built for Polynesian lagoons and ports, but with spacious suites and staterooms. With only 332 guests and a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.5, unparalleled service is provided that’s geared to your specifi c needs. T e ship’s staff takes pride in anticipating your wishes, even addressing you by name as they wholeheartedly pamper you with the attention you deserve.
Your sailing adventure begins with a smooth and effi cient boarding process in the main theater. Here you can relax with your fi rst complimentary drink, before a friendly staff member escorts you to your stateroom. All accommodations have ocean views and nearly 70% have private balconies. Elegant furnishings include marvelously comfortable queen-size beds (some twin beds available), refrigerators stocked daily with soft drinks, mineral water, and beer, and bathrooms with full-size tubs. T ere’s ample storage and—for extra comfort— luxurious linens, feather-down duvets, robes, cotton slippers, and upscale bath products. Butlers and an in-suite bar setup are provided for guests in categories B and above.
Common areas are both sophisticated and informal, making it easy to strike up new friendships with like-minded travelers.
T e Gauguin’s onboard facilities and activities encourage participation but also inspire each guest to enjoy the vacation they crave, whether lounging at the pool or mingling at the lounge. Explore the ship. Check out the book and DVD library; contemplate the art and artifacts in the hallway gallery of Polynesian culture and history; add a few pieces to the communal jigsaw puzzles; or nurture your mind and body in the luxurious award-winning spa. For something more active, consider a total body workout in the fi tness center or an afternoon spent exploring the lagoon with a complimentary kayak or paddleboard off the ship's retractable marina. At the marina, you can also pick up complimentary snorkel gear—yours to keep throughout the duration of your cruise. Or, plunge even deeper into an aquamarine world of colorful fi sh and corals on a diving excursion by Zodiac®. T e Gauguin off ers optional SCUBA diving excursions and PADI certifi cation.
You can expect a true experience of Polynesian culture on board. Here, the Children of Huahine dance group warmly welcomes guests.
