Papua New Guinea Cruises

If you want to gain an authentic taste of what life is like on a Pacific Island, then there are few places that can match Papua New Guinea.

Situated to the north of Australia, Papua New Guinea is famed for its diversity and is home to a range of different cultures that you can look to explore during your time spend ashore.

Still very much a developing nation where a large percentage of the population live in indigenous communities, Papua New Guinea is a great place to visit if you want to see something different to the regular tourist sites that you are likely to encounter elsewhere.

For those who do want to simply relax on a sandy beach or take a dip in the clear waters off the coast, then there will be plenty of chances to do just that – particularly around Madang where you can also look forward to diving around coral reefs.

The colonial city is packed with charm and is home to a popular market and numerous parks where you can take a stroll, whilst a small museum gives an insight into island culture.

However, you can’t visit Papua New Guinea without going off the beaten track.

One of the best places to do that is Alotau on the shores of Milne Bay, where you can visit the local market and mix with locals who can share stories of island life.

The stunning scenery that surrounds the town is also worth exploring, ranging from volcanic black sands on the beach to thick forests on the surrounding hills. You might also want to visit the Australian War Memorial to discover more about the Battle of Milne Bay, where the Allies defeated the Japanese in World War Two.

Add together the unspoiled beauty of the island, the huge array of native flora and fauna, and the opportunity to explore the culture and lifestyle of the people who call it home, and it isn’t hard to see why there is plenty to enjoy on a cruise to Papua New Guinea.
