Set sail to discover the ancestral lands of Australia and four treasures of Melanesia: Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji. Amid tropical landscapes, pristine beaches and lush ecosystems, explore unspoilt lands shaped by nature and tradition. On Thursday Island, discover a history marked by the Second World War, then immerse yourself in the cultures of Papua New Guinea, home to more than 700 ethnic groups and centuries-old traditions. Fall in love with the wild landscapes of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, featuring waterfalls, verdant hills, fine-sand beaches and coral reefs. Along the way, discover idyllic landscapes of lush forests alongside colonial heritage, myths and traditions.
Le Paul Gauguin is an elegant luxury vessel, specially designed for navigation in Polynesian waters. Its shallow draft allows it to get in close to shallow lagoons and isolated islands, maximising stopover time. A true cocoon of comfort and elegance, the ship offers a warm and timeless atmosphere to its guests. Its 165 cabins and suites all have external views and are tastefully decorated. Quality materials such as precious woods, antique engravings and tiki details pay homage to Polynesian culture and contribute to the charm of life on board, making each trip unique.
