DINING ON BOARD

Paul Gauguin's restaurants are designed to compliment and enhance the dining experience, not overwhelm it. Dining is unhurried and relaxed - you may enjoy the pleasures of the table without the regimentation of assigned seating or having to rush through your dessert. Here, the constraints of formal wear, tuxedos and ties are forgotten and the only dress code is "relaxed." Complimentary wines are served with lunch and dinner, or you may select an alternative vintage available for purchase from the wine cellar. During normal dining hours, you may choose from the restaurants' menus and enjoy dinner in your stateroom or suite. A special 24-hour room service menu is also available. 
L'Etoile

Enjoy fine French cuisine with a Polynesian accent amid the classic furnishings and fluted shell lighting reminiscent of one of the refined dining establishments in Paris. Here delectable cuisine is artfully presented and guests receive the most diligent attention.

  
La Veranda

Veranda's curved railings and sun-infused ambience might recall leisurely dining on a yacht club terrace on the Côte d'Azur. Two-star Michelin chef Jean-Pierre Vigato is the genius behind its celebrated cuisine. His original Apicius menu offered nightly in La Veranda incorporates both signature dishes and fresh creations, from Shrimp and Leek Terrine to Fresh Mahi-Mahi on a Mousseline of Bacalao.

  
Le Grill

Greet the sun with a buffet breakfast at Le Grill. Or enjoy lunch by the pool on a choice of grilled favorites, salads and fresh tropical fruits. At night Le Grill is transformed into a cozy indoor/outdoor restaurant serving grilled specialties in a more casual atmosphere.

ENTERTAINMENT

In the evening, spirits are very much alive as guests enjoy Polynesian performances, dancing, cabaret singers, a casino and the warm camaraderie of fellow guests sharing the Paul Gauguin's highly personal, undiluted experience of French Polynesia.
Le Grand Salon

Watch spectacular performances such as an electrifying Polynesian show featuring the arts of the islands in the main lounge. One night it might be the soaring cappella harmonies of himene songs. Another might feature a thrilling performance of ote'a - a complex line dance accompanied by drums telling the ancestral legends of the Polynesian people. Later on in your cruise, you'll have a chance to learn how to dance in true Polynesian style from our wonderful Gauguines performers.

  
Casino and Connoisseur Club

On any evening, pulses run high in the Le Casino with its blackjack tables and roulette wheel. Or when Cognac and cigars are in order, the Connoisseur Club provides a warmly relaxing environment, much like a favorite private club in London. Have a glass of port at the bar or pick your favorite smoke from the humidor.

  
La Palette Lounge

Sing along at the piano bar in this spectacular observation lounge atop the ship. At night it's transformed into a romantic nightclub where a chanteuse sings the Parisian blues and couples sway on the indoor/outdoor dance floor.
