Paul Gauguin extends $1K credit on 2026 French Polynesia sailings

Paul Gauguin Cruises has extended its “Take Your Sweetie to Tahiti” wave season promotion, offering a $1,000 shipboard credit per stateroom or suite on all 2026 voyages, along with a bottle of Champagne and a chocolate treat.

The promotion is open to new bookings made through April 30, 2026, and applies to all 2026 sailings aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin. 

The line says the ship’s design and shallow draft allow it to access smaller islands and lagoons across the region.

The shipboard credit can be used toward shore excursions, spa treatments, Connoisseur List wine selections, onboard shopping, and other purchases.

Travel advisors can receive up to a $500 gift card for each newly deposited booking.
