Meet the Captain of the m/s Paul Gauguin:

Born in Split, Croatia, Captain Ante-Toni Mirkovic has been living in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik since the age of eight and is a graduate of the Nautical School and Maritime University. In 1980, he joined his first cruise vessel, Dalmacija. Aboard this ship, he sailed the Mediterranean, North, and Baltic Seas, the Norwegian Coast, and Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. In 1986, Toni sailed on the cruise ship Ambassador as a Chief Officer and Staff Captain. This gave him the opportunity to helm expeditions to coastal Africa that included stops in the Seychelles and Madagascar. Toni became a Captain in 1995 on passenger-cargo ships cruising from Northern Europe to the United States. He also captained the sailing ship Sea Cloud on Mediterranean and Black Sea voyages.  From 1998 to 2005, he served as Master of Cruise/Casino on NCCL vessels in Southeast Asia and Australia. He joined Paul Gauguin Cruises in 2006 and is very proud to be in command of the m/s Paul Gauguin. The beautiful waters of French Polynesia never cease to amaze him. The beauty of the Islands and the welcoming Polynesian culture has made The Gauguin his home away from home.
