Polynesians have been greeting visitors for centuries with open arms and broad smiles. This Polynesian spirit of welcome, warmth, and geniality infuses every aspect of life aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin.

PEARLS Program

At Paul Gauguin Cruises, we believe there is huge potential for the travel advisor who establishes themself as an expert in select areas and product lines. With this in mind, and respectful of the busy lives we all lead, we have designed an educational program that will give those who participate a distinct advantage: in-depth knowledge, insider information, and solid sales techniques that work!

Our program requires only a modest amount of time and effort to take in all the knowledge you need to find, cultivate, sell to, and keep the type of client that will enjoy our luxury soft adventure cruises in Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific.

We welcome you to the program and remind you that we want to hear from you all along the way as we continue to extend the spirit of Polynesian hospitality to some of the most magical places in the world!
