Aranui gets festive with bundle of shipboard credit

Aranui Cruises is getting into the festive spirit with a credit offer available on select Aranui 5 cruises through the islands of French Polynesia.

Under the offer, all new bookings for Aranui 5’s 7 and 25 March and 13 April 2017 departures made by 31 January 2017 will receive an onboard credit of approximately $425 per person to spend in the ship’s boutique, bars, spa and fishing.

The deal adds even more value to an Aranui 5 cruise fare, which already includes a couple of thousand dollars worth of added value including shore excursions through the 17 scheduled ports of call, a weekly laundry service, all main meals and a complimentary glass of wine with onboard lunches and dinners.

Aranui 5’s 14-day cruise offers discerning travellers the adventure of a lifetime across the South Pacific with visits to nine islands across three striking and distinct French Polynesian archipelagos – the Marquesas, Tuamotus and Society Islands.

The destination-rich itinerary includes Bora Bora and its famed blue lagoon; the chance to walk in the footsteps of great artists and authors including Robert Louis Stevenson, Herman Melville and Paul Gauguin on Nuka Hiva, Ua Pou, Ua Huka, Tahuata, Hiva Oa and Fatu Hiva in the far-flung Marquesas; and the Tuamotu ports of Rangiroa and Fakarava with picturesque white sandy beaches.

During the roundtrip cruise from Papeete, the freighter line dispenses cargo while guests disembark and explore a range of complimentary excursions including hikes, 4WD tours, visits to archaeological sites and a picnic on a secluded beach in Bora Bora.
