Paul Gauguin Cruises opened general reservations for its 2024 itineraries featuring 33 voyages offered on seven unique itineraries – two of them brand new – exploring Tahiti, French Polynesia, Fiji, and the South Pacific. Travelers who book early can enjoy 30 percent in bonus savings on all-inclusive fares starting at $2,990 per guest on cruises of 7, 10, 11, and 14 nights aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, recently voted #1 Small-Ship Ocean Cruise Line by the discerning readers of Travel + Leisure.
New for 2024 are a 7-night More Society Islands & Tahiti itinerary featuring a return to Raiatea; and a 14-night Islands of the Marquesas & Tuamotus voyage with maiden visits to Hatiheu, Nuku Hiva; and Hakahau, Ua Pou, both in the Marquesas Islands. The new voyages join the line’s portfolio of classic itineraries, popular among savvy travelers seeking immersive experiences aboard a boutique ship known for its carefree elegance and trademark Polynesian hospitality.
“With new 2024 itineraries and maiden ports, together with unmatched experience and all-inclusive value, we are eager to showcase the beauty of the South Pacific to the world’s most savvy travelers,” said Navin Sawhney, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT (parent company of the line). “From the Society and the Cook Islands to the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Tonga, and Fiji, Paul Gauguin Cruises delivers artfully authentic discovery with unrivalled expertise. We look forward to welcoming guests aboard the beloved Gauguin where our officers, staff and Les Gauguines will share the warm and genuine service that has been our hallmark for over 24 years.”
Highlights of the 2024 deployment include more Bora Bora – an enduring favorite featured on all seven itineraries with overnight stays on most. Several itineraries feature overnights in Moorea, and every cruise includes a visit to the line’s private islet, Motu Mahana on Taha’a. Beyond the deep exploration of these Society Islands destinations, itineraries delve into the treasures of the Cook Islands, the Marquesas, and the Fijian isles. There is a rare visit to the Kingdom of Tonga, and discovery of Fakarava’s UNESCO-listed Biosphere in Tuamotus.
All voyages travel round-trip from Papeete, Tahiti, except for two 14-night itineraries between Papeete and Lautoka, Fiji that cross the International Date Line. The Gauguin’s 2024 itineraries are:
