Aranui

Aranui Cruises has been offering unique cruise experiences in French Polynesia for over 40 years, combining comfort and adventure in an extraordinary way. With the Aranui 5, a vessel that transports both passengers and cargo, the company takes guests to some of the most remote and fascinating islands in the region. The route includes destinations such as the Marquesas, the Tuamotu Archipelago, and the world-famous Bora Bora. These journeys are not just about exploring breathtaking landscapes but also about diving deep into Polynesian culture, which makes them truly special.

Onboard the Aranui 5, guests enjoy modern comforts that turn their stay into a true delight. With elegantly designed cabins, some featuring private balconies, a spacious sun deck, an outdoor pool, and a spa, the ship offers everything needed for a relaxing cruise. At the same time, passengers experience the unique atmosphere of a cargo ship delivering essential goods to remote islands. This exceptional combination gives every voyage with Aranui Cruises an authentic charm that is hard to find on conventional cruise ships.

During the journey, passengers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local way of life. From traditional dances and visits to artisan markets to heartfelt encounters with the warm and welcoming islanders, the cultural richness of the Marquesas and surrounding islands leaves a lasting impression. Organized shore excursions also provide the chance to explore the stunning natural beauty of the region, from towering cliffs and lush valleys to crystal-clear lagoons and secluded beaches that look like they belong in a South Pacific dream.

The Aranui 5 is not just about adventure; it’s also about savoring every moment. Meals onboard are inspired by French and Polynesian cuisine and are served in a relaxed atmosphere. Fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and exquisite desserts make every dish a sensory experience. The friendly crew and the warm, family-like atmosphere onboard ensure that every guest feels completely at home and cared for.
