With over 800 languages and 1,000 distinct cultures, Papua New Guinea is the most culturally diverse country on Earth. These rugged and remote islands have endured very little influence from the outside world and this helps to explain the amazing biodiverstiy of this wild archipelago. Seen by many as one of the wildest frontiers in adventure travel, few have had the privilege to experience the unique blend of unspoilt nature and rich cultural heritage that Papua New Guinea offers. Cruising is an ideal way to experience the remote and unexpected corners of this fascinating country. From the comfort and safety of our expedition ship, we explore hidden bays, snorkel to gaze at striking coral reefs, uncover the diverse flora and fauna, and hope to gain a genuine insight into a traditional lifestyle that has changed little in centuries.
