Watersports
The waters of French Polynesia and the South Pacific offer a world of wonders with translucent lagoons, rainbow-colored coral reefs, and a myriad of tropical fish. A highlight of the Paul Gauguin Cruises’ experience is watersports and we offer many opportunities to explore these seas.
Spa & Fitness
Set sail on a musical journey! If you have a passion for classical instrumental music or opera, if you love Celtic melodies or jazz, treat yourself to a different and exclusive experience aboard a Ponant ship. On board or ashore, our guests of honour, including renowned artists, talented musicians and brilliant virtuosos, share their knowledge and their passion in an intimate and accessible manner during concerts or talks.
Paul Gauguin, as if you were there
From sunrise to sunset, sail from island to island and admire the shores of the Pacific region, captured by the ship's webcam.
With a shallow draft, the Paul Gauguin sails closest to the most beautiful lagoons and offers you an optimal view of these enchanting coasts.
