Through this collaboration, Raw Tahiti will coordinate the boarding and stay of artists from its collective for two annual sessions aboard the Aranui V during our Marquesas expeditions.

This innovative project will provide unique opportunities for both passengers and artists to engage in a shared creative journey, offering a vibrant exchange of experiences and art. We look forward to the inspiring interactions and artistic explorations that will emerge from this partnership. ✨

AN IMMERSION LIKE NO OTHER

“Dramatically gorgeous with mist-swathed jagged peaks, deep emerald valleys, tikis galore and scant visitors, the Marquesas are unlike the popular touristed areas of French Polynesia such as Bora Bora. Marquesans have their own language, their own style of Polynesian tattoos, their own ceremonial dances, even their own time zone (idyllically named Marquesas Islands Time) and are known for exceptional artwork, including intricate wood and bone carvings and black-ink “tapa” sketches on tree bark. We experience it all. Plus I pet a rat-detecting dog who is rescuing endangered Marquesan birds, hike to the grave of syphilis-plagued French painter Paul Gauguin, and see where “Moby Dick” author Herman Melville jumped ship.” 🛳️

A STOP IN KAUEHI 📍

Located 40 km northeast of Fakarava, Kauehi is a relatively new settlement. Initially populated for copra production, the atoll has more recently embraced pearl farming. Accessible through its sole small pass, Arikitāmiro, you can reach the village of Tearavero, home to the majority of its 250 residents.
Recently opened to tourism, Kauehi offers a captivating blend of authenticity and the lagoon's surreal, unique colors that promise an unforgettable experience. 🛳️

WILL YOU TAKE SOME BLUE WITH YOUR TEA? 💙

In 2026, we are excited to offer a rare opportunity to explore the hidden treasures of the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Suspended between sky and sea, the Tuamotu atolls epitomize escape and paradise. For those yearning for a complete change of scenery and breathtaking lagoons, these islands are the ideal destination. 🏝️

Our 5-day expedition will take you to some of the lesser-visited atolls, including the elevated atoll of Makatea, the distinctive Nine Eyes atoll (Mataiva), and Anaa, the historic birthplace of the Pomare royal family.
We’ll conclude our journey in the charming village of Tautira, one of Tahiti’s most authentic locales.🐬

This 5-day adventure is a perfect complement to any extended Tahiti vacation.

SO PROUDLY UNESCO HERITAGE!

In case you missed it! 📣
We are so ecstatic that our cherished Marquesas Islands have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This prestigious acknowledgment highlights the islands' extraordinary natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and profound cultural heritage.

This achievement is the result of seven years of dedicated effort by a committed team, supported by French Polynesia, various Marquesan organizations, and the Ministry of Culture.
“The archipelago is one of the most isolated in the world, which helps shield it from mass tourism. Through the management and conservation measures associated with the World Heritage listing, it will continue to captivate and inspire with its remarkable beauty, exceptional biodiversity, and deep cultural significance.” — Anatauarii Tamarii, archaeologist and leader of the Directorate of Culture and Heritage of French Polynesia 💛

ISLAND HIGHLIGHT: RURUTU ✨

The island of Rurutu presents a unique landscape that stands apart from typical South Pacific scenery.
Its rugged basalt and limestone cliffs, dotted with caves where early inhabitants once lived, sit near white sand beaches and picturesque bays. The island’s volcanic core conceals a lush tropical jungle, creating breathtaking views for Aranui's passengers. 🛳️

Archaeological excavations in the village of Vitaria have revealed ancient settlements, council platforms, and marae temples, indicating human presence as far back as 900 A.D.

Rurutu is also renowned across Polynesia for the exceptional quality of its woven products. From August to October, humpback whales migrate to Rurutu’s waters to mate and give birth, providing a spectacular sight and sound for visitors. 🐋

MARQUESAS FUN FACTS #5

Stunning beauty! 😍
With towering mountains, black-sand beaches, and lush forests, the Marquesas have an untamed, raw beauty that sets them apart from more developed tourist destinations.

A feast for the eyes and the heart, the Marqueas are to be been, felt, experienced! Join us! Our 2025 AND 2026 itineraries are out! And so are our special offers 🛳️

MARQUESAS FUN FACTS #4

Isolation…
The Marquesas are among the most isolated inhabited islands in the world. This isolation has preserved much of the traditional Marquesan way of life.
Aranui Cruises has been a vital link for the Marquesas islands for 40 years now.
And we love to quote travel writer Arnie Weissman’s who said:
“Cruise and tour companies have made great strides in connecting with local communities, but the relationship Aranui Cruises has built with Marquesans is unlike any- thing I’ve previously seen. Islanders and crew are of one community and often literally know one another, and the company makes efforts to support local craftspeople and performers on their own terms. It’s a formula that can’t be easily duplicated and is yet another bullet point in the list of ways that a sailing on Aranui Cruises differs from any other cruise experience.” 💛

MARQUESAS FUN FACTS #3

Their own dialiect…
Although French is the official language, the Marquesan language, which has two dialects (North Marquesan and South Marquesan), is still widely spoken. English is not commonly used in the Marquesas, which is why Aranui Cruises provides specially trained guides fluent in at least two languages.
English, French, and German are the primary languages spoken onboard, and programs are offered in these three languages. On each island, our guides and staff act as the link between passengers and the local communities. 💛

MARQUESAS FUN FACTS #2

#2 – Their own climate!
The Marquesas have a tropical climate, but they are drier than other Polynesian islands, especially those in the southeast like Tahiti. Rainfall varies depending on the island and altitude, but the region is generally warm year-round.

This makes travel to the Marquesas islands quite amazing year-round! Ready for some warm weather! Haere mai! We are waiting for you! 🛳️

MARQUESAS FUN FACTS...

The Marquesas islands may not be the most visited islands in French Polynesia… but, to us, they probably are the most beautiful! And our love story goes decades back…

Did you know that…

#1 – A 4 hour-flight from Tahiti
Yes! Located about 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) northeast of Tahiti, it takes about 3h30 - 4 hours to reach Nuku Hiva or Hiva Oa with local carriers Air Tahiti and Air Moana.
The island group is also 30 minutes ahead of Tahiti time.
So before arriving to the Marquesas, don’t forget to move your clock 30 minutes forward. While most countries are on Universal Time (UTC) by a number of full hours, a handful of places have both 30-minute and 45-minute offsets, among which are India, the Cook islands, Australia states and New Zealand.

A UNIQUE FORMULA...

“Most Aranui 5 guests opt for the Marquesas, where the culture, weather, topography and variety contribute to an accessible and engaging experience. It is among the destinations in the world that are best seen by ship, but unlike many others in that category — Antarctica or the Galapagos, for instance — cultural immersion is as important a benefit as the destination’s pristine natural environment.”

Travel writer Arnie Weissman was onboard one of our Aranui 5 sailings and wrote a very thorough article – for Travel Weekly - that we are happy to share here: https://www.aranui.com/en/blog/travel-weekly-beyond-tahiti

GET LOST: "THE PASSAGE TO PARADISE"

“What strikes me as interesting is that almost everyone here has either been on the cruise before or has discovered it through a personal recommendation. It’s a testament to the quality of this unique experience and ensures plenty of diversity in the chatter about expectations as the ships horn sounds and it starts gliding through the salty blue mass towards paradise.
Nothing can prepare us for the remarkability of our destination and despite the Aranui 5’s obvious attraction as a cargo ship, it’s the remote Marquesas that really steals the spotlight. That’s why we’re here after all; the Aranui 5 is merely our vessel to get to the otherwise difficult to reach and wholly untapped islands.”

Roberto Serrini goes in search of an authentically exotic paradise aboard the Aranui 5. 🛳️

GOING DOWN MEMORY LANE… 🌱

Located 210 km northeast of Tahiti, the atoll of Makatea exudes a unique “edge of the world” atmosphere.

Rising about 260 feet above the ocean, Makatea was once a thriving island with a peak population of around 3,000 inhabitants. From the 1930s to the 1960s, the island prospered due to its rich phosphate deposits, attracting significant international interest and expertise for phosphate extraction.
This led to Makatea's distinctive industrial development in Polynesia.

Until then largely forgotten by the modern world, the island was transformed with schools, a cinema, religious centers, and various industrial facilities, including a 100-meter metal pier and a railway. These remnants still stand as silent witnesses to Makatea's unique industrial past.

Today, only about 94 inhabitants remain, dedicated to preserving the island's heritage and continuing its unique story.

Makatea is largely isolated and accessible only by sea, enhancing its sense of remoteness. It is often visited as part of specialized tours, such as those offered by the Aranui 5, which provide a glimpse into its rich history and stunning natural environment. 🌿

HOW TAHITI TRANSFOMED GAUGUIN’S ART🎨

In Hiva Oa, visit the Paul Gauguin Museum and his “house of pleasure”… The museum presents a lasting showcase of the paintings by the renowned artist Paul Gauguin, featuring replicas of his original works. Adjacent to the museum hall is a reconstructed "pleasure house," the residence of the artist. The main exhibition wall of this house is adorned with intricately carved wooden panels, faithfully reproducing Paul Gauguin's original creations. Gauguin painted some of his most beautiful pieces in Hiva Oa. Let the islands inspire you the way it did for artists, writers, adventurers. 🏝️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2p8GYmDtcc
