French Polynesia expert Paul Gauguin Cruises has opened reservations for its 2026 voyages. Advisors can expect six unique itineraries exploring the Society Islands, Tuamotus, Marquesas and Cook Islands.
On journeys of 7 to 14 nights, the m/s Paul Gauguin will sail year-round from Papeete, Tahiti, bringing authentic discovery and luxury to discerning travelers. Clients who book early will enjoy bonus savings of up to 30%. Fares start at $2,990 per guest.
For over two decades, we have cultivated deep relationships with the communities here and that translates into meaningful discovery ashore for our guests.
“French Polynesia is a multi-layered destination unto itself, and our unmatched roster of itineraries reveals the nuanced cultural differences and natural beauty of each archipelago with immersive insight,” said Samuel Chamberlain, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and Ponant (parent company of the line). “For over two decades, we have cultivated deep relationships with the communities here and that translates into meaningful discovery ashore for our guests. The transformative experience continues onboard with French-inspired local cuisine, a casually elegant ambiance and the genuine hospitality that have been the signature hallmarks of The Gauguin Experience for more than 25 years.”
Of the 38 voyages on offer in 2026, nearly 50% are 7-night journeys. The balance of 10-, 11- and 14-night voyages explore the atolls of the Tuamotus, the mystique of the Marquesas, and the unspoiled beauty of the Cook Islands. Itineraries are distinguished by overnights and extended stays in iconic isles.
Sample trips include the More Society Islands & Tahiti itinerary; in 2026 it’s a 7-night sailing that brings clients to Tahiti, Huahine, Raiatea, Motu Mahana/Taha’a, Bora Bora (overnight), Moorea, and Tahiti and the Society Islands. Another offering is the More Tuamotus & Society Islands itinerary, which brings guests to Tahiti, Society Islands, Fakarava, Rangiroa, Tuamotus Huahine, Bora Bora and more across 10 nights.
For convenience, Paul Gauguin has also collaborated with Air Tahiti Nui to offer an optional airline package; airfare from Los Angeles, transfers and day rooms at accommodations like the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort & Spa situated in Papeete, Tahiti, are included.
