Minimizing the impact on the environment is one of the company’s top priorities. In 2019 Paul Gauguin Cruises took two important measures in this area. The line completely eliminated the use of heavy fuel oil by using a much cleaner fuel (LS MGO – low-sulfur marine gas oil) and also committed to offsetting 150 percent of its carbon emissions. The latest environmental improvements at Gauguin follow this path and include water treatment and consumption optimization as well as energy saving initiatives.
