ARANOA

Setting Sail in 2027

Aranui Cruises Expands Its Fleet
with an Exciting New Ship & Voyages

Starting in 2027, Aranoa will offer new cruise itineraries in the Austral Islands.

Overview

The Beginning of a New Adventure

Like Aranui 5, Aranoa will also be a mixed passenger-freighter ship, equipped with all the mod cons and the latest technology for passenger comfort and to limit environmental impact.

After 40 years offering a small and steady flow of tourism to the Marquesas, which will continue with Aranui 5, Aranui Cruises will continue its unique model of sustainable tourism in the Austral Islands with Aranoa from 2027.

Aranui Cruises is the first to work with the local island communities to create ongoing tourism and this project will help develop the Austral archipelago by providing new economic opportunities and fostering inter-island trade, while opening up the region’s breathtaking landscapes and colourful culture in a sustainable way.
