ARANOA

Setting Sail in 2027

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

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

Reservations will be available on our website starting in June 2025!

The Beginning of a New Adventure

Like ARANUI 5, which will continue to serve the Marquesas Islands, ARANOA will also be a mixed passenger / freighter ship, equipped with the latest technology to limit its environmental impact. This unique model of inclusive tourism, which has made the company successful for 40 years, is particularly suited to the island territory of French Polynesia.

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

Aranui 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.

Itinerary

Aranoa will take you to discover the Austral Islands, a true haven of peace composed of five main islands: Rimatara, Rurutu, Tubuai, Raivavae, and Rapa.

Between lush mountains, turquoise lagoons, and white-sand beaches, each stopover promises an unforgettable experience.
