Le Grand Salon
Evenings aboard The Gauguin feature spectacular performances in the ship's main lounge. Every voyage features an electrifying Polynesian show by the beloved troupe of entertainers, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins. Another show might feature a guest Polynesian troupe offering a thrilling performance of ote'a—a complex line dance accompanied by drums telling the ancestral legends of the Polynesian people. On other nights, you might marvel at the skill of a pianist … tap your foot to a rock band … or hum along to familiar tunes performed by a veteran of Broadway. The selection of entertainment is sure to make every evening a pleasure!
You'll also find activities and entertainment throughout the day in Le Grand Salon. Enliven your senses with a morning game of table tennis. And in the afternoon, you might take in an engaging presentation by one of the special guests.
La Palette
In this versatile lounge, you can enjoy a morning snack or afternoon tea, attend a honeymoon/anniversary blessing ceremony, or enjoy a nightcap and dance under the stars to the strains of live music.
Casino and Piano Bar
