The 12 day cruise is a unique voyage where you can experience life on-board a working freighter as the crew deliver essential supplies to isolated villages.  Watching the dexterity of the crew as they unload food, electrical goods and even cars is simply fascinating!

Whilst the Aranui 5 is a freighter, the Aranui 5 has been purpose-built for this destination and provides plenty of passenger space and spacious and comfortable accommodations.  With two lounges, four bars, conference rooms, swimming pool, massage room, gym and more, the Aranui 5 takes freighter cruising to a whole new level.

Let the magic of the Marquesas captivate you - this truly is a cruise of a lifetime!

Special Cruises in 2021
Besides the regular Marquesas freight run, in 2021 there are 3 very different voyages. At the start of the year the Aranui 5 (Voyage 1/2019) will repeat the very popular voyage to Pitcairn Island. Voyage 8 will be a special voyage around the Society & Tuamotu Islands, including some rarely visited islands. And Voyage 15/2021 will venture further afield to visit the Cook Islands. These voyages will sell fast. Please don’t delay.

Should you wish to extend your stay and add a stop in Moorea or one of the other islands, we are most happy to assist.  Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

It is essential to book well in advance for this cruise, as with limited capacity and huge popularity (check out some previous passengers thoughts here), the voyages sell out months in advance.
