More than 15,000 couples have honeymooned on The Gauguin, in part because the attentive and friendly staff knows how to make your special cruise unforgettable. As a gift to newlyweds, they offer a Polynesian Blessing Ceremony, whether you’ve married in Tahiti or at home.
Gather in La Palette Lounge with its breathtaking views of Bora Bora for a Tahitian blessing, a performance by Polynesian dancers, and a toast, as the onboard photographer documents the experience. Back in your stateroom once the ceremony is done, a bottle of bubbly and a gift await.
The Gauguin sails the exquisite islands and turquoise lagoons of Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacifc. Its sister ship, m/v Tere Moana, explores Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America.
While onboard, nearly every element is included — even room service. Dine on gourmet cuisine in a choice of venues enjoying complimentary beverages, including select wines and spirits.
During daytime hours, relax beside the pool, participate in water sports via a specially designed retractable marina, join in Polynesian activities, and listen to educational talks by naturalists and other speakers.
At night, get your groove on in the piano bar, watch The Gauguin’s troupe of Polynesian entertainers, attend shows at Le Grand Salon, and experience nightlife at La Palette nightclub and Le Casino.
Staterooms feature European linens, feather-down duvets, sumptuous bath amenities, soft robes and cotton slippers. A luxurious spa provides couple’s massages and other services (for a fee).
