| Aranui to Pitcairn

ARANUI Cruises will take passengers to one of the most remote islands of the Pacific in 2019, with Pitcairn Island featuring in one of 20 voyages across the region.
The 2019 program is a major departure for the Tahitian adventure cruise line, which for the first time will offer a different itinerary from its regular roundtrip journey from Papeete to the Marquesas, Society and Tuamoto Islands.
The 125m-long Aranui 5 mixed cargo and passenger vessel (pictured) will start the year with a 13-day return voyage from Papeete to Pitcairn Island, departing on 10 Jan 2019.
Priced from $7,280 per person twin share, the one-off voyage will also see maiden calls in Anaa and Amanu in the Tuamotos; Mangareva and Aukena in the Gambiers; and Raivae and Rapa in the Austral Islands.
Upon arrival in Pitcairn, cruisers will be guided around the island by descendants of Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian – and will also receive a highly sought-after Pitcairn stamp in their passport.
Aranui’s local representative, Laurent Wong, said Aranui 5 offers a truly unique experience “and we can’t think of anything more thrilling than taking our guests on the ultimate seafaring adventure to remote Pitcairn Island” – 03 9449 3778.
