Layout: All accommodations are spacious and have queen-size beds (some can be converted to two twins). Closets and storage are adequate—remember, you need no formal wear for a Paul Gauguin cruise. All feature a vanity/desk and sitting area and, while all staterooms and suites have an ocean view, 50% also have private balconies. Fresh fruit baskets and tropical flowers are welcome enhancements.
Amenities: All staterooms and suites have hair dryers, personal safes, refrigerators, and TVs with VCRs. Bathroom extras include shampoo, lotion, and bathing products, a bathtub with shower, as well as slippers and bathrobes to use during the cruise.
Suites: In addition to more space and a separate tub and shower in the marble-clad bathroom, the Owner's Suite also has a small dressing area. Grand Suites have a huge balcony that wraps around from the side to the front of the ship as well as forward-facing windows that offer a view similar to what is seen from the ship's bridge one deck below. Suites, including categories OS, GS, A, and B, include butler service.
Good to Know: Staterooms in the lowest category, Category F, have twin portholes instead of a picture window. Only one stateroom is wheelchair-accessible; it is larger than standard, though, at 225 square feet.
