As part of the Escape Beyond Tahiti sale, cruises are discounted by up to $2000 per couple and an onboard credit of $700 per room is on offer when select Aranui cruises are booked by 31 July 2026.
The promotion is available on four of Aranoa’s 13-day voyages to the Austral archipelago, with cruises departing 12 April, 15 May and 2 and 19 June 2027.
Set to debut next year, the new ship will cruise to all five of the inhabited Austral islands including Rapa – priced from $9467 per person (reduced by $836). Aranoa’s Austral Islands itineraries excluding Rapa and featuring either Maupiti or Huahine start from $9103 pp twin share, a saving of more than $800.
At present, Aranui offers the only way to visit all five inhabited Austral Islands in the south of French Polynesia – Tubuai, Rurutu, Rimatara, ‘Bora Bora of the south’ Raivavae, and Rapa Iti.
Rapa is only included in a limited number of voyages as the untouched southern island, home to a community of just 500 residents, works closely with the cruise line to create a small, sustainable flow of tourism.
The sale also includes Aranui 5’s 13-day roundtrip voyages from Papeete to the northern Marquesas Islands departing 5 and 19 December 2026, as well as the first ten voyages of 2027 between January and June. A discounted stateroom is priced from $8221 pp twin share, saving more than $800 pp.
