The Aranui III is a custom built mixed passenger/cargo vessel that operates between Tahiti, the Tuamotu and the Marquesas, her crew are all Polynesian, primarily Marquesans.

She offers comfortable, air-conditioned accommodations for about two hundred passengers who  will be able to sunbathe on deck, swim in the pool, or enjoy exotic tropical drinks while the Aranui winds her way among the islands of the Marquesas.

These are the islands Paul Gaugin and Robert Louis Stevenson fell in love with.
