Frequently Asked Questions

Booking a Paul Gauguin Cruise

How long does it take to get to Tahiti from the United States?: Tahiti is just over 8 hours away from convenient Los Angeles, California (LAX).
What’s the best way to get to Tahiti?: On average, there are typically three flights from Los Angeles, CA to Papeete, Tahiti. If you are located outside of the Los Angeles area, you will like connect with a flight from Los Angeles, or better yet, arrive the day before your flight to break up the time in the air.
Should I book my flight separately, or with Paul Gauguin?: The cost for booking with Paul Gauguin or Air Tahiti Nui directly are about the same. If you are not adding a pre-cruise night at a resort & plan to fly straight to the cruise, booking your flights with Paul Gauguin means that you also get a complimentary transfer & pre-boarding ‘day-room’ at the Radisson Hotel until the ship is ready for you to embark after 2:00 PM.
