The Paul Gauguin has recently arrived in Singapore to undergo a multi-million-dollar refurbishment project.

As part of one of the largest refits taking place in 2025, the 1997-built ship is now scheduled to undergo a seven-week drydock that will include upgrades to public areas and cabins.

The Paul Gauguin will see sustainability upgrades as well, featuring new features designed to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

New green technologies being introduced include advanced heat recovery systems, efficient chillers, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system generating electricity from heat and optimized electric motors, significantly reducing energy consumption.

A new seawater treatment system will produce fresh water onboard, while waste management enhancements include a glass crusher and a cardboard compactor for efficient recycling.

One of the onboard venues undergoing a major upgrade is the pool deck, which will feature a new white canopy for cabana-like seating on the ship’s port side.

The space is also getting new furniture, as well as a refreshed bar, while the pool itself will be wrapped in a new mosaic banner.

Adjacent to the pool deck, Le Grill is getting a top-to-bottom makeover, receiving a contemporary look in white, with wood screens, ceramic tiles and trim framing culinary stations.

The 320-guest ship is also getting eight new connecting staterooms and updated soft furnishings throughout its public spaces.

As a tribute to its parent company, Ponant Explorations, the Paul Gauguin is also scheduled to get a new livery.

According to the cruise line, the new look will see the ship’s sleek white hull receiving modern gray accents, as well as a significant change to the funnel, which will now display Ponant’s three-sail logo.

Additionally, Paul Gauguin Cruises’ signature scripted “P” logo will take a prominent position on Deck 8 forward.

After completing the project, the Paul Gauguin is scheduled to resume guest service in early April, kicking off a repositioning voyage to the South Pacific.

Before arriving in Tahiti in early May, the ship offers two itineraries that sail around Southeast Asia, Australia and Fiji.
