Aranui Cruises recently revealed additional deployment details for the maiden season of its new ship, the Aranoa.

Similar to the Aranui 5, the newbuild will operate cargo-carrying cruises that sail to remote destinations in the South Pacific.

According to the company, the Aranoa is scheduled to enter service in March 2027, expanding its operations to the Austral Islands.

Aranui said that the ship’s 13-day itinerary is highlighted by “hidden gems” and includes seven ports of call.

After departing from Papeete, the Aranoa is set to visit Raiatea, Bora Bora, Rurutu, Rimatara, Tubuai, Rapa, and Raivavae.

The company added that the cruises will allow guests to experience “turquoise lagoons, fjord-like coastlines, lush tropical jungles, endemic birds, exquisite craftsmanship,” and more.
