A new adventure is about to begin!

In 2027 mv Aranoa will begin to serve the magnificent Austral Islands south of Tahiti, while the mv Aranui 5 will continue to serve the Marquesas Islands. She will be slightly smaller than the Aranui 5, with 93 cabins (62 with balconies), but with the same concept. She will be able to carry up to 198 passengers, plus freight of course. 2 restaurants and 2 bars, 2 whirlpools with ocean views, 1 boutique will complete the offer.

ARANOA will sail the waters of the South Pacific to embark on its main mission: supplying the Austral Islands and showcasing its magnificent, still unknown islands.

Like the ARANUI V, which will continue to serve the Marquesas Islands, the ARANOA will also be a mixed passenger-freighter vessel, equipped with the latest technologies to minimize its environmental impact. This unique model of inclusive tourism, which has contributed to the company’s success for 40 years, is particularly well-suited to the insular territory of French Polynesia. This project will help develop the Austral archipelago by offering new economic opportunities, promoting inter-island exchanges, and highlighting its vibrant landscapes and rich culture!

Fares, departure dates, detailed itineraries are available and we are taking bookings for 2027 & 2028.

Bucket List Voyage!

French Polynesia, Marquesas or Austral Islands Itineraries on board cargo / passenger ships Aranui 5 & Aranoa roundtrip voyages from Papeete, Tahiti.

2027 & 2028 voyages available to book.

From its inception to the present day, and through successive Aranui ships, the concept of Aranui Cruises has remained the same: a traditional and authentic Polynesian offering by Polynesians for the benefit of Polynesia. In that spirit, nearly all the staff and crew are Polynesian, hailing from islands across the five archipelagos. It is their insider’s perspective and how openly they introduce their home to the outside world that creates an atmosphere unlike any other cruise line sailing these waters. Whether in the public spaces, at special dinner events, as part of the onboard entertainment or assisting guests from ship to shore on our tenders, you will become well acquainted with your lively and talented crew members. Though some can be a little shy at first, once you strike up a conversation, you will discover why they are an integral part of the Aranui experience.
