Aranui III

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?

A couple on the Older Travellers branch took the Aranui III cruise and loved it. Why don't you post this question on that branch? 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.

Went on the Aranui first two weeks of July. Sensational, but it's not for everyone. Big blog post here (http://www.michaelpryor.com.au/?p=3635) detailing the trip.

Thanks Everyone

I'm going to get my travel agent in on the action and head over there the blog was wonderful gave a great insight into the islands and activities

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!
