French Polynesian cargo cruise line Aranui Cruises is offering big savings on its Pitcairn and Austral Islands cruises in 2024, slashing thousands off Aranui 5’s special Discovery voyages.
During the sale, Aranui Cruises is offering 50 per cent off the second guest in a twin share room and has removed the single supplement on its Pitcairn and Austral Islands voyages in 2024.
On sale until December 31, 2023, Aranui’s 11-day roundtrip voyage from Papeete to Pitcairn via the Tuamotus and Gambiers, departing February 17, 2024, is priced from A$9234* for solo travellers in a stateroom, a saving of $6067. A twin share stateroom is priced from A$14,134* for two guests, a saving of $4334.
Aranui’s Pitcairn voyage includes an overnight stay at Adamstown as well as calls at picturesque Tuamotu atolls’ Hikueru, Amanu and Anaa, and two visits to Mangareva in the Gambier Islands, home to some of French Polynesia’s finest black pearls.
On sale until November 30, 2023, Aranui’s 11-day roundtrip voyage from Papeete to the Austral Islands departing March 30 and November 2, 2024, is priced from A$8503* for solo travellers in a stateroom, a saving of $3967.

The special southern voyages are the only way to see all five inhabited Austral Islands – Tubuai, Rurutu, Rimatara, Raivavae, known as the Bora Bora of the south, and Rapa Iti, which is only accessible by sea and Aranui 5 is currently the only cruise ship allowed to visit.
With local crew, cuisine and culture, Aranui 5 is the most authentic way to explore French Polynesia and surrounds. An Aranui 5 cruise includes thousands of dollars’ worth of shore excursions such as hikes, visits to archaeological sites and local feasts, a weekly laundry service, three meals per day and complimentary French wine with onboard lunches and dinners.
Aranui 5 features a restaurant, conference rooms, lounges, a library, a boutique, a swimming pool, a gym, a spa, the first tattoo studio at sea and bars including the panoramic Sky bar and popular Veranda bar.
