South Pacific Solo: Paul Gauguin Offers No Single Supplement on 7 Routes

Paul Gauguin Cruises is offering Zero Single Supplement offers across seven select itineraries in French Polynesia and the wider South Pacific — giving solo travellers a strong incentive to book that long-anticipated Oceania escape. 

The cruise line says that beyond being a honeymooners’ paradise and a favourite destination for nature- and culture-loving families, French Polynesia and the wider South Pacific are increasingly recognized as a welcoming, immersive, and community-oriented destination for solo adventurers. 

Across these seven Zero Single Supplement voyages, guests have their pick of sights, landmarks, and activities, whether they dream about snorkelling in Fakarava, one of just seven UNESCO-listed Marine Biosphere Reserves in the world; visiting Raiatea, the most sacred of all Polynesian isles; swimming at Vanuatu’s famed Champagne Beach; or immersing themselves in the rich culture of Papua New Guinea. 

For more than 28 years, Paul Gauguin Cruises has operated continuously in the South Pacific, with the 330-guest m/s Paul Gauguin purpose-built for the shallow lagoons and smaller ports of French Polynesia. 

Having recently undergone a renovation inspired by the colours and textures of the South Seas, the intimate, 165-stateroom ship is ready to welcome independent travelers. The majority of accommodations feature private balconies—a major selling point for solo guests seeking both privacy and panoramic views of volcanic peaks rising from turquoise lagoons. 

Updated public spaces include a redesigned pool deck with shaded cabanas and a refreshed look at Le Grill, one of three distinct onboard dining venues.  

Dedicated solo programming encourages connection without compromising independence, with curated meetups and hosted gatherings, allowing guests to engage with like-minded travelers while leaving plenty of time for self-guided exploration.
