Paul Gauguin
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 Radisson Seven Seas' interpretation of six-star service, comfort and luxury. Spacious staterooms, 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.
The beautiful ocean-view staterooms and suites, 50% with private balconies, have interiors that are enriched by classic crown moldings and warm, cherry-colored wood, finely crafted furnishings throughout, spacious wardrobe and a vanity/desk, queen bed, marble-appointed bath with full-sized tub and shower, a sitting area and plentiful storage. Amenities include cotton robes, hair dryer, TV/ VCR, a refrigerator stocked with soft drinks and mineral water, a complimentary bar set-up with wine or liquor upon embarkation and 24-hour room service.
With a guest ratio of 1 to 1.5 and only 320 special guests you can be assured of attentive service from a caring staff. Service is of utmost importance on the Paul Gauguin and you'll notice it in the way the Maitre d' remembers your name, in the extra personal attention you receive from the divemaster when you're learning to scuba and in the warmth of your stewardess' "bonjour" as she places a perfect ripe mango in your fruit basket. Yet, surprisingly, gratuities are never expected.
Watersports are a highlight of the Polynesian experience. The ship's small size allows it to navigate in shallow lagoons and narrow channels where larger ships may not sail. With the specially designed retractable watersports platform, guests may descend to sea level where they can conveniently hop aboard a windsurfer, launch a kayak, try a little waterskiing or set out for a SCUBA diving expedition. A scuba certification program is offered on board.
Play table tennis on deck. Shop for a flower-splashed pareu top to wear to the pool party in the duty-free boutique, or take a lesson in the technique of paddling an outrigger canoe. A wide selection of books is available in the Reading Gallery and videotapes may be rented at the Reception Area on a complimentary basis.
Sail the seas of the South Pacific in the lap of luxury aboard the Paul Gauguin.
