I emailed them this week and got the response that it is still planned and they will let me know more this week. I don't see how they can run. The majority of passengers are French with usually a lot of Australians and New Zealanders, all of whom are pretty much in lockdown. QANTAS just suspended ALL international flights. According to an NZ Radio article of 13 March Aranui have been ordered not to carry passengers (see last paragraph of attached). For insurance purposes I'm waiting for them to cancel, I guess most people are.

I've done the Marquesas Cruise on Aranui 3 and it was wonderful - highly recommend it. See photos  here https://flic.kr/s/aHskcBynUs 

I'm currently deciding whether to book the Pitcairn cruise for next April. I have a room held and need to decide in the next few days. Its a lot of money but I guess its something I'll only do once.
