Paul Gauguin Cruises Joines CLIA

Fans of the m/s Paul Gauguin, one of the most beautiful ships sailing French Polynesia, know that as of January 6, 2010 Regent Seven Seas Cruises will no longer manage the vessel. Come the new year, Paul Gauguin Cruises—current owner of the ship—will take over all aspects of her management, from advertising and marketing to reservations to onboard operations.

In light of these changes, it's no surprise to see that Paul Gauguin Cruises has become a member of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Twenty-four cruise lines belong to this consortium, along with 16,000 travel agents.

According to David A. Giersdorf, President & CEO of Paul Gauguin Cruises, “We are pleased to continue the long-established relationship with CLIA that the m/s Paul Gauguin has enjoyed over the years and to demonstrate our strong support for, and confidence in, the professional travel agents who are CLIA members.”

Paul Gauguin Cruises is taking reservations now for its 2010 season and is offer a 5% loyalty discount to any traveler who has previously sailed with Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, The Yachts of Seabourn, Crystal Cruises, SeaDream Yacht Club, or Windstar Cruises.
