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 onboard 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. Learn Polynesian arts and crafts, Tahitian dance and maybe even make your own Poisson cru, a delicious local dish from fresh fish and other ingredients. 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. Especially exciting are top renowned lecturers featured in the Wildlife Discovery Series, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Tese are the top ecologists, naturalists, and marine biologist in the field and will enlighten guests on a variety of innovative topics. During the summer months and holiday season, Stewards of Nature, a WCS experiential family
program, is offered and invites guests to discover and value nature through hands-on, interactive learning for children ages 7-17, as well as family members. 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 paddleboards, kayaks, windsurfers, and snorkeling gear for complimentary use. But perhaps the most memorable
encounter ofTe 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
