The Aranui 5 is a specially designed combination of a cruise ship and a cargo ship, built to offer all the comforts of a cruise ship while still being able to fulfill her role as a supply vessel. She sails from Tahiti to the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia on a 12-day South Sea cruise that includes meals and excursions, while she delivers cargo, which drastically improves the CO2-footprint of these voyages. The Aranui 5 is classified as a small ship and has capacity for about 230 passengers in 103 cabins.

The Aranui has been a lifeline for the islanders for almost four decades, supplying them with everything that can´t be sourced on the islands. In this remote world, the arrival of the Aranui 5 is always awaited with excitement, since she represents an important link to the outside world. The longed-for deliveries - from sacks of sugar to sewing machines, sandals for the children to new pickup trucks - create a festive mood every time. Citrus fruits, fish and barrels full of noni juice are loaded up in return and shipped back to Papeete.
