woostergirl Posted August 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Travel + Leisure has an article on traveling on Aranui 5 in its current issue: https://www.travelandleisure.com/cruises/marquesas-french-polynesia-aranui-cruise Led me down a rabbit hole and saw that Aranui 5 is going to a special festivl on the Marquesas in December 2023. https://farandawayadventures.com/aranui-5/aranui-5-itinerary/marquesas-art-culture-festival/ I'm also very interested in the Paul Gaugin as it has a family program. Our kids will be 12 and 8 in 2023. Anyone been on both PG and Aranui 5? They seemed to have similar pricing... Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorex Posted August 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Have not been on both -- however, the primary difference is that the Paul Gauguin is a luxury cruise ship and the Aranui 5 is half passenger ship, half cargo ship. Recommend you check out the review here on CC: https://www.cruisecritic.com/reviews/review.cfm?ShipID=1234 Click through all 6 headings. Youtube is another great resource. Here are two on the PG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuoEvFvQ5c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNXKoRI13U Here's one about the Aranui 5: My opinion is that the PG would be more kid friendly, but either way your family will have a great adventure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
