Papua Discovery by Luxury Expedition
More than ever, Australians are loving luxurious explorations at sea and exotic voyages to far-flung places and to sate that demand, Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has curated a new, month-long, fly, cruise and stay package on a new, ultra-luxe expedition ship that will take curious adventurers on a rare journey to remote, pristine places in Melanesia few Australians have even heard of.
Ideal for seasoned travellers seeking new places to explore, Cruise Traveller’s newly released ‘Papua Discovery by Luxury Expedition’ package in May, 2024, offers savings of A$6200 per person, onboard spending money of US$300 per stateroom and an exclusive future cruise credit of A$1000 per twin stateroom for bookings made by February 29, 2024
Offering deep cultural immersion in destinations not yet affected by mass tourism, the 30-night trip offers the opportunity to be amongst the first to sail aboard Seabourn’s elegant, new, purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, which began cruising in August this year.
The adventure begins with a night’s stay in a Sydney hotel on April 30, 2024, before a flight next day to Honiara in the Solomon Islands where guests will board the sleek, yacht-like Seabourn Pursuit for a 28-night, round-trip voyage from Honiara to 20 idyllic destinations across the Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Micronesia.
The cruise will venture to a string of seldom visited destinations offering an alluring mix of chalk-white beaches lined by swaying palms, sapphire lagoons, colourful coral atolls, abundant marine life, verdant jungles, traditional villages, colourful customs and some of the world’s best diving.
Destinations include the small Papua New Guinea ports of Kavieng, Rambutyo, Watam, Uratu and the islands of Garove, Kitava, Buka and Woodlark. Also on the itinerary are the isolated Ninigo Islands in Indonesia, the spectacular atolls of Gaferut and Ifalik in Micronesia and the Russell Islands, Vona Vona and Gizo in the Solomons.
Welcome dances will greet guests at many places and the cruise includes guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and ashore and also insights into the culture, history, flora and fauna of each destination with the ship’s expert expedition team. The voyage ends back in Honiara where guests will fly back to Sydney for the final night’s stay in a hotel.
Including two nights in Sydney, return flights from Sydney to Honiara and onboard beverages, excursions and Wi-Fi, the 30-night ‘Papua Discovery by Luxury Expedition’ package from April 30, 2024, is available from A$19,799 per person, twin-share, in a Veranda Suite with a private balcony – a saving of A$6200 per person. A bonus onboard spending credit of US$300 per stateroom is also included in the package. Plus, there’s a A$1000 per stateroom cruise credit for any future Seabourn cruise booked through Cruise Traveller.
The savings and onboard spending and flight bonuses are valid for bookings made by February 29, 2024.
