Paul Gauguin Cruises Military & Veteran Discount

How our Paul Gauguin military discount works

Because the cruise line does not offer a standing military or veteran rate, the savings come from us. We price your voyage at Paul Gauguin's lowest available fare, including whatever promotion is running for that departure, and then take at least 5% off the cruise fare. Taxes, port fees and airfare are not part of the discount.

Our membership in several large travel consortia can add onboard credit or other amenities on select sailings. We confirm what applies to your specific departure before you book, so there are no surprises.

• At least 5% off the cruise fare on Paul Gauguin voyages
• Stacks on top of the cruise line's promotions
• No booking, change or cancellation fees from us
• Payments go directly to Paul Gauguin Cruises
• Rate monitoring until final payment

Who qualifies

Active duty, retired military and all veterans qualify, as do all military and veteran spouses, including surviving and divorced spouses. Family and friends sailing with you get the same savings, even in their own staterooms.

A ship this size fills quickly for honeymoons, anniversaries and retirement trips, so bringing a few couples along is common. Each cabin in your group receives the discount.

About the m/s Paul Gauguin

The line operates one ship, the m/s Paul Gauguin, which carries 330 guests. Every stateroom faces the ocean and close to 70% have private balconies. Its shallow draft lets it reach smaller islands and anchor in lagoons that larger ships cannot enter.

Dining is spread across three restaurants, L'Etoile, La Veranda and Le Grill. A retractable watersports marina at the stern opens at anchor for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding, and the ship offers an onboard PADI dive program for certified divers and beginners alike.

What is included

Paul Gauguin is one of the more inclusive lines in the South Pacific, which matters when you compare its fare with ships that charge separately for drinks and tips.

• All meals and 24-hour room service
• Select wines, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks
• Mini-bar restocked daily
• Onboard gratuities
• Wi-Fi
• A day on Motu Mahana, the line's private islet off Taha'a
• Watersports from the marina in select ports
• Butler service in Veranda staterooms and above
• Performances by Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, the ship's Polynesian hosts

Where Paul Gauguin sails

Most voyages begin and end in Papeete and explore Tahiti, the Society Islands and the Tuamotus, with stops such as Bora Bora, Moorea and Huahine. Longer itineraries reach the remote Marquesas.

The ship also sails farther afield on select voyages, including the Cook Islands, Fiji and Tonga, and repositioning routes toward Southeast Asia and Australia. Ask us which itineraries fit your dates and we will compare them with the discount applied.
