What you can expect
Aranui 5 is a dual-purpose passenger and working freighter that makes a regular 3800 kilometre round-trip voyage from Tahiti to the Marquesas, Tuamotu and Society Islands in French Polynesia. On the 13-day, all- inclusive cruise, passengers visit nine islands and discover why the likes of artist Paul Gauguin, novelists Robert Louis Stevenson and Herman Melville, and musician Jacques Brel were so captivated by this enchanting part of the world.
The once-in-a-lifetime adventure includes nine French Polynesian islands where guests have the chance to take 4WD adventures through winding mountain tracks, hike to sacred ritual sites, visit villages and churches and immerse in the local culture.
While passengers relax aboard the custom-built ship, its muscular and proficient sailors take control of the freight. With skilful precision, Aranui 5’s sailors and crew unload and load cargo at remote docks to an audience of waiting villagers. Food, fishing equipment, building materials and vehicles are replaced with a bounty of island produce including limes, coconuts, copra (dried coconut), fruit and fish, for the return journey to Tahiti.
