Sharing the discoveries offered by travel enriches any trip—especially when the trip is a luxury cruise aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin. When your clients organize a Group for a cruise with Paul Gauguin Cruises, they’ll qualify for 5% Group savings on all departures listed below.
That’s on top of 50% savings off standard 2021 all-inclusive fares plus included roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles, or 30% savings on 2022 off standard pricing! Plus, all Groups earn a 1-for-9 Tour Conductor (TC) credit. That means the 10th guest sails FREE! You can keep the TC credit for yourself or pass the savings directly to your clients.
Please contact your regional Director of Sales for more information on setting up a Group sailing, or contact our Group Department at 877-495-0859, press 1 and then 3; or by email at pgcgroups@pgcruises.com.
