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.

Explore French Polynesia's enchanting
Marquesas Islands aboard the new ship Aranui III. The custom-built
Aranui III is specially designed with added space and the passenger's
comfort in mind. The state-of-the art ship offers tasteful,
spacious suites. All have windows, double or twin beds, bathrooms with
showers, personal safes, mini-bars, and are fully air-conditioned.
Deluxe cabins and suites are larger and feature additional amenities
with picture windows. The suites have balconies with your own private
panorama.
On the sweeping decks read, relax or take
in the views of pristine lagoons and soaring mountain spires. Take a dip in the
outdoor swimming pool or use the on-board facilities for fishing, swimming,
snorkelling, scuba diving, and Polynesian cuisine with fellow adventurers from
around the world. Dressing for dinner means a pareo or shorts, sandals and a
white tiare behind the ear! Lose calories in the gym or exercise your mind in
the library. Socialise in the lounge or learn about the rich Marquesan culture
and history from the onboard experts.
