NEW YORK, NY – June 15, 2023 – Today, Paul Gauguin Cruises opened reservations for its 2025 itineraries featuring 26 voyages offered on six unique itineraries – one new – exploring Tahiti, French Polynesia, Fiji, and the South Pacific. Travelers who book early can enjoy up to 30 percent in bonus savings on all-inclusive fares starting at $2,990 per guest on voyages of 7, 10, 11, and 14 nights aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, the award-winning leader in exploring French Polynesia and the South Pacific.
New for 2025 is a 10-night More Tuamotus & Society Islands itinerary featuring the line’s first- ever overnight stay in Fakarava, Tuamotu Archipelago – a UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve renowned for its marine habitat. The voyage also includes overnights in Bora Bora and Papeete, Society Islands; with visits to Rangiroa, Tuamotu Archipelago; Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, and Motu Mahana (Taha’a), Society Islands.
“With more unique itineraries to more boutique ports of call than any other luxury line in the region, Paul Gauguin Cruises is unmatched in revealing Polynesia with artful authenticity and all- inclusive luxury,” said Navin Sawhney, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT (parent company of the line). “Our 2025 sailing schedule aboard the enchanting m/s Paul Gauguin affords overnight stays on every itinerary, inviting discerning travelers to enjoy an ‘overwater bungalow’ that sails from one iconic destination to another in carefree luxury.”
Highlights of the 2025 deployment include more Bora Bora – an enduring favorite featured on most itineraries, nearly all with an overnight stay. Several itineraries feature overnights in Moorea, and nearly every cruise includes a visit to the line’s private islet, Motu Mahana off the coast of Taha’a. Beyond the deep exploration of these Society Islands destinations, itineraries navigate the treasures of the Cook Islands, the Marquesas, and Tuamotus. Also included are rare visits to the Kingdom of Tonga and the blissful isles of Fiji.
All voyages travel round-trip from Papeete, Tahiti, except for two 14-night itineraries cruising between Papeete and Lautoka, Fiji. The Gauguin’s 2025 itineraries include:
