Fares increase and seat availability decreases the closer you get to the sailing date.

Cruise

Fares increase and seat availability decreases the closer you get to the sailing date.

Shore excursions

Make your reservations for them ahead of time from your travel agent or on the Paul Gauguin website. If you arrive without reservations, be in line at the ship's travel concierge desk at 9 p.m. on embarkation day when it starts taking bookings.

Restaurants

To secure dinner reservations for La Veranda and Le Grill for your preferred days and times, see the maitre d' at the La Veranda restaurant between 3 and 5 p.m. on embarkation day. That's when reservations are first taken.

Sun protection

You are near the equator, so you may want to wear a brimmed hat and put on a high-SPF sun screen when you are in the sun.

Smoking policy

There's no smoking in cabins (including private decks) and public spaces (except in the Connoisseurs Club and certain designated deck areas).
