Paul Gauguin Announces Kids Sail and Fly Free Offer – Cruise Industry News

Paul Gauguin Cruises has introduced the “Kids Sail & Fly Free” offer, which features complimentary roundtrip airfare between Los Angeles or Seattle and Papeete on Air Tahiti Nui for children aged 15 and under on select 2025 voyages.

The company also announced an added incentive for travel advisors, offering a $500 gift card for each newly deposited booking.

“With travel advisors busy assisting families in planning their summer vacations, our ‘Kids Sail & Fly Free’ offer presents a fantastic opportunity for both advisors and their clients,” said Susan Robison, vice president of marketing and communications in the Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises.

Paul Gauguin said in a press release that the 2025 voyages feature the Moana Explorer Program for children aged six to 15. The program is in partnership with Te mana o te moana, the South Pacific’s marine education and conservation foundation.

“We believe that the journey to The Islands of Tahiti should be as enriching as the destination itself,” said Caroline Borawski, vice president of the Americas at Air Tahiti Nui.

According to the press release, each voyage in the offer aligns with the line’s program. Daily activities include naturalist-led island excursions, scientific activities, crafts, games, adventures and other initiatives that educate children about Polynesian culture.

The offer applies to the following 2025 voyages:

• “More Society Islands & Tahiti”: seven-night cruises departing  July 5, Aug. 2, 30 and Dec. 20

• “Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands”: 14-night cruises  departing June 21, July 12 and Aug. 9.

Paul Gauguin said that bookings must be made by April 25, 2025, using the code PGFAMILY at the time of booking. The offer is valid for third and fourth guests ages 15 and under sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults in Category C accommodations and above.

The offer includes roundtrip economy air transportation on Air Tahiti Nui between Los Angeles or Seattle and Papeete. Kids aged 17 and under sail free aboard when traveling as third or fourth guests in the same stateroom.
