A truly unique experience, Aranui cruises serve as part passenger ship, part cargo ship servicing The Marquesas Islands. This unique combination gives guests the ability to travel to some of the more remote islands, with intimate access to the land & its people.
With only 103 cabins, and capacity for 254 passengers, guests are treated to an authentic Polynesian experience, where, after days spent on adventures & immersing themselves in Marquesan culture, they spend evenings mingling with crew members for a true slice of Polynesian hospitality.
Traditionally appointed rooms on this ship are far from what you would expect of a cargo ship, and your fare includes all meals, wine with lunch & dinner, shore excursions as planned on each itinerary, special guest lecturers & cultural enrichment classes.
Aranui cruises are the perfect choice for well-traveled, culturally curious individuals.
In addition to their regular Marquesas itinerary, the new Discovery cruises will include a 13 day to the Tuamotu, Gambier and Pitcairn Islands; a 13 day to the Cook and Austral Islands; and a 12 day to the Tuamotu and Society Islands.
