The Gauguin Experience
Every element of The Gauguin has been designed to enhance your experience of paradise. Bask poolside in the tropical sun,
bathed by gentle breezes. Escape to your spacious stateroom, and order up tantalizing treats at any time, all included in your fare.
As The Gauguin brings you to French
Polynesia, she also brings French Polynesia to you. Local dance troupes come on board to perform traditional dances in Le Grand Salon. Your social hosts and hostesses—the charming Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins— hail from the islands and share their culture and knowledge with you through Polynesian arts and crafts, Tahitian dance, storytelling, and more. You might also enjoy the chef’s moonfish presentation, a delicacy prized by Tahitians. With a taste similar to tuna or halibut, the massive fish is expertly filleted and served throughout the ship’s three restaurants that evening. Enrichment lectures led by a rotation of
renowned guest speakers focus on Polynesian history, and guided excursions take you deep into the islands to explore archaeological sites. Several voyages throughout the year feature visiting experts on topics ranging from wine and food to health and wellness. Tese themed voyages add a nourishing mind/body dimension to already enriching voyages.
Divers rejoice—French Polynesia's
lagoons and atolls offer world-class diving, where rays, turtles, reef sharks, and multi- color fish share their piece of paradise. For those wanting to stay above the waterline, the ship's retractable watersports marina offers complimentary use of paddleboards and kayaks. You can also be custom-fitted for snorkeling gear that is yours to use for the duration of your voyage. But perhaps the most memorable
encounter of Te Gauguin experience is the incredible service of the entire crew, who exudes genuine friendliness and warmth. Tey are ever so attentive, without being intrusive. Every crew member greets you by name each time you meet. Tey also remember your favorite beverage, how you like your steak prepared, and that you like strawberries on your cereal. No request is too large, and short of saying "Your wish is our command," their ability to make every guest feel extra special is worthy of a genie. If you’re celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, a

special Polynesian blessing ceremony will leave you with incredible memories to last a lifetime. When you come on board Te Gauguin,
you will arrive as a guest, but leave as family. And, all you will think about when you get home is when you will return for your next family reunion.
