How Paul Gauguin compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

At 19,170 gross tons, Paul Gauguin is the 27,267th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 3.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 336th by tonnage — larger than 33% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.

France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which Paul Gauguin is the 102nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 15 cruise ships flying the France flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.

Paul Gauguin was built in 1997, making it 29 years old. It is one of 1,319 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,388 GT; within it this ship is the 415th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 153.0 m overall, Paul Gauguin is 45.1 m shorter than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 71.0 m and a draft of 16.9 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9111319 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 1995 and which range from 1972 to 1998. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1997.

Its IMO number, 9111319, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 1×5 + 1×4 + 3×3 + 1×2 = 89 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
