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.
