17-Night Luxury Cruise
Darwin to Fiji
29 March - 15 April 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.
