Aranoa, which is under construction of Aranui Cruises, will have more convenience facilities than the company previously built. Aranui sails cruises in French Polynesia.
The new ship has two restaurants, two bars and two whirlpools, compared with each of Aranui 5, the only vessel that is currently sailing.
Aranoa will also carry passengers less than Aranui 5-18 vs. 230. There are 93 rooms and 62 balcony.
Like my sister, Aranoa becomes a hybrid cruise/cargo ship to bring passengers and supplies to a remote island in French Polynesia. Aranoa sails to the Australian system, 500 miles south of Tahiti.
Aranui Cruises said that the sailing schedule will be announced later this year.
Eric Wong, vice president of the company, said, “This project is the first cruise that brings travelers to Austria.” This is a promise and significant investment of the company to help the island of Tahi Thia.
