Papua New Guinea Cruising

Cruising through Papua New Guinea offers a unique and immersive journey into one of the world’s most culturally diverse and unspoiled regions. Ships traverse the turquoise waters of the Pacific, stopping at remote islands and coastal villages where traditional customs and lifestyles thrive. Passengers can explore lush rainforests teeming with exotic wildlife, such as birds of paradise and tree kangaroos, or visit vibrant markets buzzing with local handicrafts and fresh produce. Excursions include snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs, diving among World War II wrecks, and trekking to discover ancient tribal art and ceremonial sites hidden in the jungle.
