Overview

Journey to French Polynesia's spectacular Gambier Islands and beyond to remote Pitcairn Island, home of the Bounty descendants. Discover the incredible history and unique lifestyle of this unique island community, marvel at the breath-taking lagoons of Tahiti's outer islands and soak up the warm hospitality of the local Tahitian people. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard Aranui Cruises' brand new ship, the Aranoa.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure in 2027 with Aranui Cruises’ brand-new ship, Aranoa, as you set sail to some of the most remote and fascinating destinations in the South Pacific. This fly/stay/cruise package includes return airfares, all transfers, 1 night at the luxurious Hilton Tahiti before your voyage, and 1 night post-cruise to unwind.  Join us on an exclusive journey blending comfort, culture, and discovery in one extraordinary experience.

Sailing aboard Aranoa, you’ll explore the legendary Pitcairn Island, step into the serene beauty of the Gambier Islands, and uncover hidden gems such as Mangareva. With all meals, wine with lunch and dinner, and included shore excursions throughout, you can simply relax and immerse yourself in the adventure.

Pitcairn Island – History in the Heart of the Pacific

Remote and steeped in maritime legend, Pitcairn Island is famously home to the descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers. Here, you’ll meet the locals, discover their unique way of life, and wander through a community that thrives against the backdrop of rugged volcanic landscapes. With only a handful of inhabitants, Pitcairn offers a rare opportunity to connect deeply with history and humanity.

The Gambier Islands – Untouched and Enchanting

Far from the bustle of modern life, the Gambier Islands captivate with their volcanic peaks, lush valleys, and breathtaking anchorages. These islands are not only scenically stunning but also culturally rich, with sacred sites and traditional Polynesian heritage to explore.

The largest island of the Gambier archipelago, Mangareva is known for its pristine lagoons, black pearl farms, and centuries-old churches. Explore its turquoise waters, marvel at its cultural landmarks, and soak up the slow island rhythms that make Mangareva such a captivating stop on your voyage.

Tuamotu Islands – Remote Coral Atolls

Your voyage also sails into the Tuamotu Islands, a scattering of low-lying coral atolls with crystal-clear lagoons and unspoiled beauty. Each atoll reveals its own story:

Hikueru – Once famed for its pearl diving, this atoll is surrounded by dazzling waters that shimmer in every shade of blue.

Anaa – A circular atoll with a deep, emerald lagoon, Anaa is home to rich traditions, vibrant culture, and some of the most striking lagoon scenery in the Tuamotus.

Amanu – Remote and rarely visited, Amanu offers a glimpse of authentic island life, where traditional Polynesian hospitality welcomes you to its tranquil shores.
