Magic of the Marquesas

For more than 40 years, Aranui Cruises has been offering adventurous travelers unforgettable voyages through the remote islands of French Polynesia. Originally founded in 1954 as a freighter shipping line and reborn in 1984 as a hybrid passenger-freighter service, Aranui Cruises continues to play a vital role in delivering goods and services to the Marquesas Islands.

 Today, Aranui 5 is a custom-built, dual-purpose vessel sailing from Tahiti to the Marquesas, Society Islands, and beyond, providing essential supplies to island communities and an immersive cultural experience for its guests. Aranui’s mission remains unchanged—to serve the people of these remote islands while offering travelers a unique opportunity to engage with their rich history and traditions.
