2007 News: Arrival of the new Mata Fenua catamaran!
Archipels Croisières Team has recently announced the renewal of their entire fleet catamaran with the Eleuthera 60', the first new and larger catamaran will offer a better comfort and the addition of a fifth cabin.

Built by Fountaine Pajot, located in La Rochelle France, Archipels Croisières will offer their passengers a significantly improved service with those new sailboats. Their first new catamaran named Mata Fenua (eye of the land in Tahitian language) left France on January 16th, 2007.

The catamaran is estimated to arrive by the end of March 2007 in Tahiti. Mata Fenua will be based in Tuamotu for the 3 and 4 days cruises in Rangiroa atoll and for the weekly itinerary in the heart of Tuamotu ( Fakarava – Toau – Rangiroa ). Two more new catamarans are scheduled to arrive by the end of 2007 and 2008.


No question about it, this is definitely an extraordinary cruise open to a large variety of passengers in search of a week-long unforgettable, off-the-beaten track experience in French Polynesia. This is a rare privilege for passengers to be a part of such a cruise, as they will enjoy places still completely preserved and unspoilt.
