Congratulations to Richard Bailey, CEO and President of Paul Gauguin Cruises! Today at the Luxury Travel Expo in Las Vegas—a trade show produced by Luxury Travel Advisor and Travel Agent magazines—he'll be named the Cruise "Leader in Luxury" for 2010.I was lucky enough to dine with Mr. Bailey on "Tahitian Night" during our 7-night Tahiti & Society Islands cruise last May. His dedication to the m/s Paul Gauguin and his hotel interests (InterContinental Tahiti, Moorea, and two properties in Bora Bora as well as Le Maitai Tahiti and Le Maitai Rangiroa) was impressive. His love of French Polynesia is infectious. I'm so happy that the luxury travel industry is commending Dick for his service to travelers from all over the world.
“Our Leaders in Luxury Awards Class of 2010 truly represent excellence in luxury travel service,” said Ruthanne Terrero, Vice President-Content/Editorial Director for The Travel and HotelWorldNetwork Group. “They are deserving recipients whose leadership, hard work, and dedication are unmatched while continually exemplifying innovation in their respective travel sectors.”
Richard Bailey and his company, Pacific Beachcomber, have 25 years of experience in the French Polynesian travel industry and the company is, in fact, the region's largest luxury hotel and cruise operator.
“At the end of the day, it’s about smiling faces," Bailey admits. "We at Pacific Beachcomber and Paul Gauguin Cruises strive to achieve luxury in a remote, authentic, and well-preserved environment here in the South Pacific, weaving in the Polynesian way of life.”
Paul Gauguin Cruises recently celebrated its one-year anniversary as part of the Pacific Beachcomber portfolio. Bailey has rallied the company to improve services aboard m/s Paul Gauguin and the ship recently received its highest survey results in its 14-year history, scoring 98.9% in excellence by guests of the August 7, 2010, sailing to Tahiti and the Society Islands.
Kudos to Richard Bailey and to everyone at Paul Gauguin Cruises and Pacific Beachcomber!
