Sustainability
Our Commitment
At Paul Gauguin Cruises we care deeply about our guests, the destinations we explore, and the local people we meet on each of our adventures. We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint and supporting local communities.
Cultural experts share their knowledge onboard through dynamic and entertaining lectures and presentations, and our troupe of cultural ambassadors, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, welcome guests to experience the local way of life.
We share French Polynesians’ deep respect for our vast blue oceans, and our commitment to eco-friendly operations guides our activities both on and off the ship. Our environmental efforts include recycling, iTV system, e-tickets program, fuel conservation, reducing waste, using environmentally-friendly cleaning supplies, energy conservation, water conservation, reduction of plastic bottles, and using biodegradable straws with drinks. We also purchase local fish and produce in the islands.
Through our partnership with Te mana o te moana, a South Pacific marine education and conservation foundation, we offer the Moana Explorer family program on summer and holiday sailings which invites guests to discover and value the natural wonders of this breathtaking part of the world through hands-on, interactive learning. And, on select voyages, celebrated marine biologists, oceanographers, and conservationists share their knowledge.
