Le Paul Gauguin

Le Paul Gauguin is an intimate expedition vessel operated by the French luxury cruise line Ponant, built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique. With a passenger capacity of just 332 guests and a crew of 215, the ship delivers a high staff-to-guest ratio that characterizes Ponant's approach to small-ship cruising.

Spanning seven decks, Le Paul Gauguin is designed for exploring remote destinations while maintaining the comfort and service standards expected in the luxury segment. The vessel's smaller scale allows access to ports and waterways unavailable to larger cruise ships, making it well-suited for itineraries in regions like French Polynesia and beyond.
