Description

Aranui means ‘The Great Highway’ in Maori, and this should give guests some idea of what they can expect from their Aranui cruise. The ship sails along the waterways surrounding some truly fabulous Pacific Islands.

Aranui Destinations

The island of Tahiti is found right in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, located midway between Australia and South America. It is a true paradise island, and you will arguably not find a more peaceful location anywhere in the world. Aranui sails guests around this beautiful island and the neighbouring Marquenas.

Aranui Accommodation

Aranui’s sole cruise liner offers a choice between Standard Cabins, Deluxe Cabins and Suites, each providing everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Standard Cabins offer snug twin beds and a convenient en suite bathroom, while Deluxe Cabins add luxuries such as a refrigerator and a large bathtub, as well as a spacious queen-size bed. As you would expect, Suites offer the most luxury, with all but two of them providing a beautiful private terrace that is the ideal spot to sit and survey the marvellous, idyllic location you will find yourself in.

Aranui Entertainment and Dining

Guests can enjoy a fine range of activities and amenities during their Aranui cruise, with the ship housing all the usual things you would expect to find on a luxury cruise liner. Passengers can make use of a coffee shop, a large lounge, a boutique shopping centre, a video room with an entertainment centre and two bars serving an array of tasty tropical cocktails, while the Sun Deck presents a beautiful swimming pool and a large sunbathing area. Dinner takes place in the huge dining room, so big it requires a deck all to itself.
