Solar Eclipse Cruise #9
Departing 29 June 2010
This voyage has a surcharge of 10% added to the normal price due to this
special solar event where the Aranui will deviate from it's normal
course to catch a closer view of the solar eclipse from the Archipelago
of the Tuamotus. Returns 12 July 2010. |
The Aranui is a mixed
passenger/cargo vessel that operates between Tahiti and the Marquesas
and accommodates up to 200 passengers. She offers comfortable, air-conditioned
cabins, creating an intimate environment for her guests. Passengers
will be able to sunbathe on deck, swim in the pool, or enjoy exotic tropical
drinks while the Aranui wens her way among the islands of the Marquesas.
Polynesian sailors work aboard the Aranui
year-round as this freighter steams across the South Pacific, delivering cargo
to some of the most remote islands on earth. The Aranui is the lifeline that
links the distant Marquesas in French Polynesia, 750 miles northeast of Tahiti,
with the rest of the world. Their primitive beauty and erstwhile cannibalism
have attracted writers, artists, and adventurers since the time of Captain Cook.
The Aranui's voyages cover all six inhabited Marquesas
Islands, plus Takapoto and Rangiroa in the Tuamotus, the world's largest atoll.
Travellers go along for the ride to watch the tattooed crew
sling sacks of copra (dried coconuts) by day and strum ukuleles by night. They
go to put tropical flowers behind their ears and learn the Tahitian three-step
in the Aranui's bar. To see the lush landscape and wild stone spires of the
islands. To explore ancient ruins, discover overgrown tikis, visit the grave of
Paul Gauguin, and roam the valleys that inspired tales by Herman Melville, Jack
London, and Robert Luis Stevenson.
