Whether guests are looking to take in a traditional Polynesian show, or listen to some beautiful live music, or simply unwind with a drink, they should be able to do just that onboard.
From the casino to afternoon tea, music lounge to simply lounging in the outside pool and taking in the sun, there are more ways to relax onboard than may be expected from a ship of this size.
Every evening, except when prohibited by port regulations, guests can try their luck in the newly expanded Le Casino. Here, they can enjoy slot machines, blackjack, and stud poker. Or they can relax and unwind with a drink at the Piano Bar and take in some live entertainment.
Guests can watch spectacular performances here, such as Polynesian shows which feature arts from the island in this main lounge onboard. Shows range from a cappella harmonies of himene songs, to complex line dances accompanied by drums, to more traditional entertainment offerings, such as live piano music, or performances by a rock band.
This versatile lounge offers a chance for guests to unwind with a morning snack or even or afternoon tea. It's the perfect place to host a honeymoon or anniversary blessing ceremony, to enjoy a nightcap, or simply dance the night away.
Aboard your Paul Gauguin Cruises ship, convenient shopping is as close as La Boutique. Whether you’re looking for a toiletry essential or a memento of your cruise of a lifetime, you’ll find it here.
The Gauguin also carries Polynesian specialties, such as Tahitian apparel, Tahitian vanilla products, Polynesian cookbooks, and local handcrafted arts and crafts.
Unique Tahitian Black Pearl Collections
Available aboard both ships, La Boutique’s extensive selection of Tahitian black pearl jewellery is designed by Kelly Hinerava Bailey and exclusive to Paul Gauguin Cruises. The island-vintage inspired Hinerava (literally, “Tahitian beauty”) collection is beautifully sophisticated yet casual enough for everyday wear, a look the artist calls “island chic.”
“Polynesian Night” aboard The Gauguin
Every sailing of The Gauguin features a festive “Polynesian Night,” in which guests are invited to dress in local attire as they enjoy special Polynesian-themed dining and entertainment. Be sure to visit La Boutique to make your selection from a wide array of authentic local attire and accessories.
On longer cruises (ten to 14 nights), a Fashion Show is a highlight of the evening entertainment. La Boutique is well stocked to help you make the most of this popular event.
