Imagine setting sail on a journey that blends the adventure of a cruise with the immersive experience of a cargo ship. The Aranui V offers just that—an unforgettable voyage through the remote islands of the South Pacific. This unique ship, part freighter and part passenger vessel, brings you to the heart of French Polynesia’s most secluded and pristine locales, including the enchanting Marquesas Islands.
Onboard, you’ll find all the comforts of a modern cruise liner, from spacious cabins with ocean views to a range of dining options featuring local cuisine. But what truly sets the Aranui V apart is the opportunity to witness the daily life of these islands firsthand. As the ship delivers essential supplies to remote communities, you’ll be welcomed ashore to explore lush jungles, ancient archaeological sites, and vibrant local cultures that remain largely untouched by tourism.
Whether you’re interested in hiking through stunning landscapes, visiting the legendary resting place of Paul Gauguin, or simply relaxing on the sun deck as the tropical scenery glides by, the Aranui V offers a travel experience unlike any other. It’s an ideal journey for those seeking a deeper connection to the destinations they visit and a perfect blend of adventure and comfort.
Join on September 9 as we learn more about this travel product with Dave Mackay, Aranui Cruises Sales Manager. Dave will share his experiences on board, talk about the ship and what life is like on board, and current promotions for upcoming 2025 sailings.
