Vegans can enjoy luxury in French Polynesia onboard m/s Paul Gauguin

Launched in 1998, the renowned, 5+-star m/s Paul Gauguin was built specifically to sail the waters of Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific and is the longest continually operating year-round luxury cruise ship in this enchanting destination. No other luxury ship in history has offered this level of single-destination focus and expertise on a year-round basis for such an extended period of time.

The Gauguin is 19,200 tonnes and can hold 332 passengers with 217 crew (that's a crew to passenger ratio of 1:1.5!) and she delivers travellers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships while providing all the luxuries one could ever want.

Some ships sail upon the sea.
The Gauguin is a creature of the sea.

Life onboard also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Gauguines and Gauguins—local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers.

Vegans can most certainly be accommodated onboard this vessel.

The team at Vegan Vacations has been assured that The Gauguin can serve all dietary needs and the onboard culinary team will be more than happy to meet with you upon your arrival to plan and curate a menu that will make your vacation that much more memorable.

The team at Vegan Vacations will work with Paul Gauguin to ensure your experience is one you'll remember for a lifetime.
