bjyoung 18:32 UTC 22 Jul 2013 | Has anyone ever taken the Aranui III they market it as the freighter to paradise, I think it would be a great way to see the Marquesas, does anyone have any suggestions on when to go and how long the stops are along the way throughout the islands? paradise bound brian |

I'm sure one of them will answer your questions. These two travellers are independent travellers, not cruise ship aficionados, so if they loved the cruise then it must be worthwhile. | 1

nukuhiva2 14:26 UTC 09 Dec 2013 | Great blog! Love your writing that brought back fond memories. We did this trip twice, on the Aranui II and then again on the Aranui III. At that time, they did 16 days. It's a fantastic voyage! | 4
