About Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin was delivered in December 1997 for cruises in French Polynesia, christened at Port Everglades and sailing in the South Pacific from early 1998. Radisson Seven Seas Cruises operated her until the business was sold to Beachcomber Croisières in 2010, and in September 2019 Paul Gauguin Cruises joined Ponant. A seven-week drydock in Singapore in early 2025 added eight new staterooms and a new Ponant livery.
