Huanghai Shipbuilding inks Aranui 6 order

The delivery date and price were not disclosed.

The 14,500gt ship will be able to carry 280 passengers and 119 crew. It will have a length of 139.9 meters, a draught of 5.2 meters and a maximum speed of 17 knots.

Aranui 6 will provide a lounge for entertainment, a grill bar, shops, conference room, children’s playground, library, gym, spa and superior deluxe suites.

Slightly larger than Aranui 5

In 2015, Huanghai Shipbuilding delivered the passenger-cargo ship Aranui 5, which stretches 125 meters and carries 256 passengers.

That vessel will offer new itineraries in 2021, including a maiden voyage to the Cook Islands, an expanded Pitcairn itinerary and its first dedicated Society Islands cruise.
