Paul Gauguin Cruises, best known as the operator of the highest-rated and longest continually sailing luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific, the
m/s Paul Gauguin, has shared artist renderings of its new luxury ship, the 90-guest
m/v Tere Moana, which launches on Dec 29, 2012, for its inaugural sailing.
The ship, which is 330 feet long and can accommodate 90 guests with a staff of 57, will debut a luxurious new look—chic and stylish with Polynesian touches. To achieve the new design, a multimillion-dollar, multi-faced renovation will take place starting in Nov 2012, with
Moana receiving new furniture, upholstery, art, lighting, wall coverings, carpeting, ceiling finishes, window treatments, paint schemes, flooring, and floor coverings for staterooms and public spaces.
Eight of
Moana's 45 staterooms will offer private balconies. All staterooms will feature an ocean view; a queen-size bed, convertible to twin-bed configurations, with fine linens, feather-down duvets, robes, and cotton slippers; a flatscreen TV; a DVD/CD player; an in-stateroom refrigerator replenished daily with soft drinks, beer, and bottled water; and a bathroom with sumptuous bath products.
