We are pleased to present the Aranui, the deluxe island passenger freighter that not only is the supply lifeline to the pristine Marquesas Islands but provides one of the last true cruising adventures left in our modern world. While 99.9% of cruise passengers will be squeezed aboard the new, floating, mega-hotel-resorts that have become the norm in the cruising world, our passengers actually enjoy blue water passages on a true working ship. However, while the new Aranui is a freighter forward, the passenger cabins and public areas aft have been designed to be bright, spacious and comfortable.

All bookings for the Aranui must go through Appointed Agents of the Line and Marquesas Cruises is proud to be a part of the select group of agents that specialize in assisting passengers to enjoy the unique Aranui experience. We can assist with air connections and pre and post cruise hotel accommodations, as needed, through our established contacts in Tahiti and throughout French Polynesia. We have gained extensive experience and expertise in providing our clients with professional and friendly service assuring that they receive the best value for their travel investments.

As you review the Aranui informational website, please don't hesitate to call to speak with one of our Aranui specialists. We are here to help.
