Voyage to the Marquesas Islands

From 31/08/2012 to 16/09/2012. (Places Available)

Our 2011 group returned with glowing reports on both the ship and her destination.
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 Marquesians
and she offers comfortable, air-conditioned accommodation for about two hundred passengers.

Features

Passengers are 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.

All meals and wine with lunch and dinner and shore excursions are included.
There are options for the fit and energetic and others for the more sedentary.
