Paul Gauguin Cruise Completes $7 Million Ship Renovation



m/s Paul Gauguin

Who wouldn't want to sail around the beautiful South Seas Polynesian Islands visiting Tahiti, Bora Bora and all the small ports of the lovely islands surrounding them on a small luxury ship?

The m/s Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of Tahiti and French Polynesia, visiting small ports that larger ships can't reach and effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas.

She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service, comfort, and luxury. Spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, and an extensive spa are among her luxurious attributes. The atmosphere aboard the ship radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. And our beloved troupe of Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers and storytellers—add the unique personality of Tahiti to every cruise.

Well, she has just undergone a $7,000,000 renovations, the most extensive in the ship's 14 year history and it took place during a 10 night crossing from Tahiti to Brisbane, Australia as well as the 11 night drydock that followed.

Renovations throughout the ship include new flooring and carpeting, new furniture, new window treatments and decorative wall panels, and new signage.

All suites and staterooms have new teak balcony railings and new bathroom flooring. Restaurants also were refreshed. La Veranda has a redesigned entrance, refinished indoor and outdoor furniture, and solar shades. Le Grill boasts new decorative partitions and divider walls, as well as a new buffet area and new lighting. L’Etoile also features a redesigned entrance in addition to video equipment for conferences.

On Promenade Deck 5, the casino was slightly expanded. Deck 6 received a new integrated display case for books and art. La Palette features a decorative stone band along the front of the bar and an updated lighting system, as well as new outdoor furniture. Le Grand Salon and La Palette offer refurbished dance floors. Paul Gauguin Cruises also recently acquired a second ship and plans to expand its itineraries.
