Great news! Paul Gauguin Cruises will be back in the water August 21, 2021! We are your resource for the most up to date information around vaccination & testing requirements, whether you will need a mask, taking shore excursions, and health & safety measurements taken by the cruise line.
Do I need a vaccine to travel on a Paul Gauguin Cruise?
All guests will be required to be fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine (both doses if recommended by manufacturer) at least 14 days prior to boarding.
We do not collect vaccination cards or store proof of vaccination. Those cruise lines that have vaccine requirements to cruise will likely ask for proof at the time of boarding.
Things to know:
- Verified documentation of vaccination and negative COVID-19 test will be required at the time of boarding and failure to provide this documentation will result in denial of boarding.
- Guests will need to register with the French Polynesian government by filling out an Electronic Travel Information System (ETIS) form online and upload your proof of vaccination; print a receipt and boarding authorization form.
- Guest will need to take a Covid-19 RT-PCR test, within 3 days of departure
- Day of arrival present the ETIS form receipt, your vaccine card and the negative results to your Covid-19 RT-PCR test
Please note that these guidelines are subject to change.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Paul Gauguin require guests must utilize provided safety kits and wear a mask while outside of cabin.
Things to know:

Can I get off the ship at port?
The ship tender will be disinfected and passengers will observe reinforced health instructions: social distancing, wearing a mask, barrier gestures, hand disinfection and temperature measurement in order to reboard The Gauguin.
