Paul Gauguin ship set for multimillion dollar refurbishment

Tuesday, 16 Dec, 2024 0

PONANT Explorations Group has announced a major upcoming transformation for the 330-guest MS Paul Gauguin, part of the Paul Gauguin Cruises brand.

Scheduled for a seven-week drydock in Singapore from February to March 2025, the multi-million-dollar renovation feature sustainable technology enhancements, a transformation of Le Grill restaurant, and a rejuvenated pool deck complete with cabana-shaded areas.

Guests will also enjoy the addition of eight new connecting staterooms, offering greater flexibility for families and groups.

There will be refreshed soft furnishings throughout the ship.

“Our vision for this refurbishment is deeply rooted in an experience that reflects the culture of French Polynesia,” said Hervé Gastinel, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer of PONANT.

Energy performance upgrades include advanced heat recovery systems, efficient chillers, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system generating electricity from heat.

A new seawater treatment system will produce fresh water onboard, while the Nordaq filtration system that produces drinking water from seawater helps eliminating plastic water bottles.

Exiting drydock at the end of March 2025, MS Paul Gauguin will launch two exclusive voyages as part of the 2025 Boutique Crossing Collection.

Guests can choose the 14-night Immersive Indonesia: Singapore to Australia itinerary, departing April 1, 2025, or the 16-night Crossing Melanesia: Australia to Fiji voyage, departing April 15, 2025, as the ship makes her way back to Tahiti.
