With over 25 years of experience in the French Polynesian tourism market, Pacific Beachcomber is the country's largest luxury hotel and cruise operator in the region.

Paul Gauguin Cruises operates the m/s Paul Gauguin, the renowned, award-winning, 5+-star, luxury cruise ship built specifically to sail the waters of Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific. Launched in 1998, the m/s Paul Gauguin is now the longest continually operating year-round luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific.

Sustainable development is the keynote of Pacific Beachcomber's projects, whose resorts are all certified through Earthcheck or Green Globe. The company is the world pioneer in the use of seawater air conditioning (SWAC) technology, using deep sea water for all cooling requirements.

Pacific Beachcomber is currently developing a luxury eco-resort, The Brando, known as Marlon Brando's Private Island, located on the actor's private island and slated to open in 2012. The project will be constructed to the most exacting requirements of environmental design and will be fully self sustaining, with renewable sources of non-fossil energy.
