The Paul Gauguin was designed specifically for sailing French Polynesia year-round. She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, with Regent Seven Seas Cruises' interpretation of six-star service, comfort and luxury. Spacious staterooms (50% with private balconies), a watersports marina, a choice of three single seating dining venues and an extensive spa are among her six-star attributes. The atmosphere aboard radiates warmth and informality. And her beloved troupe of Gauguines - part cruise staff, part entertainers, part storytellers, add the unique personality of French Polynesia to every cruise.

Entertainment - In the evening, spirits are very much alive as guests enjoy Polynesian performances, dancing, cabaret singers, a casino and the warm camaraderie of fellow guests sharing the Paul Gauguin's highly personal, undiluted experience of French Polynesia.

Dining Options - Paul Gauguin's restaurants are designed to compliment and enhance the dining experience, not overwhelm it. Dining is unhurried and relaxed - you may enjoy the pleasures of the table without the regimentation of assigned seating or having to rush through your dessert. Here, the constraints of formal wear, tuxedos and ties are forgotten and the only dress code is "relaxed." Complimentary wines are served with dinner, or you may select an alternative vintage available for purchase from the wine cellar. During normal dining hours, you may choose from the restaurants' menus and enjoy dinner in your stateroom or suite. A special 24-hour room service menu is also available. 

Spa and Fitness - The Carita Spa on the Paul Gauguin is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary of peace and tranquility. Created by the legendary Carita sisters of Paris, enjoyed by celebrated patrons such as Catherine Deneuve and Paloma Picasso, here guests can indulge in an extensive list of exclusive beautifying services as well as the latest regimens of health and revitalization therapies.  This ship is also equipped with a health club outfitted with the latest machines for fitness training.
