Paul Gauguin Cruises will offer new itineraries as part of its 2025 Boutique Crossing Collection, cruising between Fiji, Bali, Singapore, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Three singular voyages of 14, 16 and 20 nights will delve into the natural wonders and cultural treasures of Oceania, Indonesia and Melanesia on exotic itineraries featuring maiden calls to Parai Beach and Surabaya in Indonesia.
The award-winning luxury line, renowned for its artfully authentic explorations of French Polynesia and the South Pacific, will offer these curated itineraries aboard the 330-guest m/s Paul Gauguin. Each will feature a robust program of personal enrichment and destination immersion, taking full advantage of blissful days at sea and intriguing ports of call such as Espiritu Santo, Guadalcanal, Komodo Island, Semarang, and more.
With overnights and extended stays, each itinerary in the Boutique Crossing Collection is designed to reveal the extraordinary ecosystems of islands known for their marine life and biodiversity as well as their welcoming cultures.
An example of one of the Boutique Crossing Collection itineraries is the 21-day Crossing Oceania: Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji to Benoa Bali, which leaves Lautoka in Fiji, and explores six magnificent countries in the South Seas. On board The Paul Gauguin, guests will discover untamed nature on the paradise islands of Vanuatu, the Solomons, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Indonesia. Highlights of the itinerary include exploring Komodo National Park (above), a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous not only for its namesake ‘dragon’ – the world’s largest lizard – but also for its gorgeous landscape of rugged hills, pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters rich with marine life
