Crossing Melanesia 2027
A journey for the culturally curious, the quietly luxurious, and those seeking something deeply personal. Set sail close-to-home aboard the intimate Le Paul Gauguin for a one-of-a-kind expedition through the lesser-visited archipelagos of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji.
With just 330 guests on board, you’ll enjoy a spacious, unhurried, and culturally rich escape that feels worlds away from large ship cruising.
This isn’t just a holiday — it’s a beautifully curated escape through time and tradition, where stories, seascapes, and slow luxury unfold day by day.
All-Inclusive Luxury at Sea
Discover the cultural heart of Papua New Guinea in Alotau, a gateway to vibrant coral reefs, traditional village life, and the historic World War II sites of Milne Bay.
Uncover the striking contrasts of Honiara during an overnight stay, where lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls meet poignant World War II memorials and battlefields.
Take a dip at Vanuatu’s renowned Champagne Beach, where shimmering natural springs create a soft fizz in the crystal-clear water, and explore Espiritu Santo’s stunning blue lagoons.
