2017 Almost Sold Out
The Aranui 5 is perfect for solo travellers with plenty of opportunity to meet other guests and a friendly and welcoming Tahitian crew, yet there is ample space to find your own quiet nook or time to yourself.
Aranui 5 welcomes many solo travellers and they offer a matching service, in an Ocean View Stateroom, where you can be paired with another person of the same gender to avoid paying the single occupancy surcharge. Or, for just 25% more, you can enjoy sole use of the cabin.
New in 2018, we would like to invite you to an exclusive cocktail function on your first full night in Tahiti so you can meet other like-minded passengers before you join the ship. This offer is only available on six special departures – 08 March, 03 May, 28 June, 23 August, 18 October and 13 December.

Discover the fascinating history, culture and scenic beauty of Tahiti’s remote Marquesas Islands with the working freighter, Aranui 5. This ruggedly beautiful archipelago has inspired many artists including Paul Gauguin and they remain uncommercialised and naturally stunning. The 13 night voyage begins in Papeete, heading for the Marquesas Islands and returning via Bora Bora. This is a unique voyage where you can experience life onboard a freighter ship as the crew deliver essential supplies to isolated villages providing an essential link to the outside world. Watching the dexterity of the crew as they unload food, electrical goods and even cars is simply fascinating!
Whilst the Aranui 5 is a freighter, the Aranui 5 has been purpose-built for this destination and provides plenty of passenger space and spacious and comfortable accommodations. With two lounges, four bars, conference rooms, swimming pool, massage room, gym and more, the Aranui 5 takes freighter cruising to a whole new level.
