Paul Gauguin Cruises Reveals 2024 Voyages
Paul Gauguin Cruises today released a preview of its 2024 itineraries for the m/s Paul Gauguin, recently voted #1 Small-Ship Ocean Cruise Line by the discerning readers of Travel + Leisure. Reservations open on September 22, 2022, with 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 up to 30 percent in bonus savings on all-inclusive fares starting at $2,990 per guest on cruises of 7, 10, 11, and 14 nights.
New for 2024 is 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.
“Paul Gauguin Cruises’ depth of experience and passion for delivering artfully authentic discovery throughout the South Pacific is unmatched,” shared Navin Sawhney, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT (parent company of the line). “Drawing upon our intimate familiarity with these islands, we are thrilled to introduce new itineraries with inaugural visits to little-explored tropical gems. We look forward to welcoming our guests aboard the beloved Gauguin for an unforgettable journey where our officers and staff will deliver 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:
