The Aranoa is a dual-purpose vessel, combining the comfort of a cruise ship with the practicality of a freighter. Serving the Austral archipelago and venturing to some of the world’s most remote islands, including Pitcairn and the Gambier Islands, it offers a truly unique experience.
Maximum passengers: 198
Designed with modern technology to minimise environmental impact, the Aranoa balances efficiency with comfort. Its Polynesian-inspired interiors feature air-conditioned cabins, two sea-view Jacuzzis, and ample deck space to take in the stunning scenery.
Life on board includes three meals daily with complimentary wine, guided excursions, picnics, and meals ashore. Shore activities range from hikes and historical walks to visits to local galleries and museums, with opportunities to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the atolls and enjoy the traditional palm-fringed beauty of French Polynesia.
This is the place. French Polynesia and the Marquesas warm the heart and feed the soul. From the smiley faces that greet you and the joyful Polynesian dancing to the bright turquoise sea and forest-covered mountains. Consider yourself in paradise.
