Aranui
The famous Aranui 5, a perfect blend of cargo and passengers, rivals in renown the magnificent Marquesas islands it explores: Ua Pou, Fatu Hiva, Tahuata… Once dedicated to supplying these remote islands, this ship now carries adventurers eager to immerse themselves in the rich Polynesian culture. Throughout this unforgettable cruise, you will have the opportunity to watch local sailors maneuver with skill, loading copra sacks by day and unloading their precious treasures, then indulging in music under the starry sky.
Our experience
The Aranui goes beyond the label of a simple cruise to become an authentic experience, the quintessence of discovering the Marquesas. For the islanders of certain regions, this ship represents the only link with supplies, the mail and the rest of the distant world. As soon as it enters the bays, a veritable celebration awaits passengers. Immerse yourself for two weeks in a memorable adventure alongside Marquesan sailors. These passionate guardians of their archipelago will pass on their love for every moment of this adventure - one of the best ways to discover the Marquesas Islands! I recommend it without any hesitation! (Nicolas - Sales Supervisor)
