The Aranui

Sail the Marquesas on the Aranui III

The Aranui is a mixed passenger/cargo vessel that operates between Tahiti and the Marquesas.

She offers comfortable, air-conditioned accommodations for about two hundred passengers. 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.

Accommodations

Accommodations classes are Suites, Deluxe, Standard and C Class.

The vessel operates under the French flag, and her crew are all Polynesian, primarily Marquesans. Additional vessel particulars are available.

The custom-built Aranui III is specially designed with added space and our passengers’ comfort in mind. But we have retained our remarkably friendly atmosphere and experienced crew. Join us on an unforgettable South Pacific adventure, discovering the intoxicating beauty of these lush, untouched islands.

Our state-of-the art ship offers tasteful, spacious suites. All have windows. On the sweeping decks, read, relax or take in the views of pristine lagoons and soaring mountain spires. Take a dip in our sparkling outdoor swimming pool.

In our expanded dining room, savor fine French and Polynesian cuisine with fellow adventurers from around the world. Lose calories in the gym or exercise your mind in the library. Socialize in the lounge or learn about the rich Marquesan culture and history from our onboard experts
