What is included on Paul Gauguin Cruises can affect the real value of the trip. Meals, beverages, gratuities, Wi-Fi, watersports and other onboard features may be included depending on current terms, but travellers should always confirm details before deposit.
We help travellers compare inclusions, extras and total trip cost before they request a booking.
Typical Included Elements
Current Paul Gauguin Cruises materials commonly list many onboard inclusions, but exact terms can change by sailing, fare type and season.
Items to confirm may include:
- Shipboard meals
- Select beverages
- Onboard gratuities
- Wi-Fi
- Snorkel gear
- Select watersports
- Entertainment and programming
- Motu Mahana on applicable itineraries
- Bora Bora beach access on applicable itineraries
Do not assume every inclusion applies to every sailing in the same way.
What May Cost Extra
Some items may cost extra or vary by package:
- Shore excursions
- Scuba diving
- Spa treatments
- Premium wines or spirits
- Boutique purchases
- Private tours
- Flights
- Hotels
- Transfers
- Travel insurance
- Medical services
- Laundry or special services
- Optional celebrations or upgrades
This is why comparing cruise fare alone can be misleading.
Shore Excursions and Watersports
Travellers often ask whether shore excursions are included. The answer depends on the specific activity and current terms.
Some water-based elements may be included, while guided tours, scuba diving, private excursions or specialty experiences may cost extra.
If excursions are important to your trip, tell us before requesting a quote. We can help estimate the likely extra costs and compare itinerary options.
Flights, Hotels and Transfers
Flights, hotels and transfers may or may not be included depending on the package, offer or booking arrangement.
Most travellers should still plan for:
- International flights
- A pre-cruise hotel night
- Post-cruise hotel options
- Airport transfers
- Travel insurance
- Extra meals during land stays
The cruise is only part of the full trip.
Canadian Traveller Note
Canadian travellers should ask whether Canadian resident rates or market-specific offers apply. These are not guaranteed and can vary by sailing, stateroom category and terms.
Currency exchange and insurance should also be reviewed before deposit.
