One of the final frontiers of the South Pacific, Papua New Guinea is one of the most exciting places to cruise to. There are sunken warships to find, beautiful cultural celebrations to enjoy and abundant marine life to see. Papua New Guinea is truly like no place on earth.
There are a range of shore tours available to suit every taste, interest and fitness level. Visit beautiful remote beaches, paddle a traditional canoe, witness fascinating rituals and shop for local handicrafts. Our pick of Papua New Guinea? That would have to be the Conflict Islands, where P&O pioneered ports are still as untouched as when we first visited.
Itinerary Highlights
Alotau: Capital of Papua New Guinea’s Milne Bay Province, Alotau is steeped in history, rich in culture and blessed with natural beauty. With an amazing range of sights and shore tours to be enjoyed, you’ll love the relaxed, easy going atmosphere of this idyllic place.
Kiriwina Island: Discover amazing culture and stunning natural surrounds on Kiriwina Island, a unique experience not to be missed. Here, one of the world’s most intact island cultures lives on one of the world’s most untouched islands. Be among the select few who are lucky enough to experience them both.
Rabaul: Found right on Papua New Guinea's northeastern tip, this province - blessed with natural beauty but plagued with an unlucky history - has literally risen from the ashes. There is much to be learned from and appreciated by visiting this special place.
Conflict Islands: Possibly the most peaceful place on earth! Don’t be fooled by the name, Conflict Islands is the most peaceful place on the planet! Lap it up on a stand-up paddle board or kayak while exploring the world’s most biodiverse reef systems. Or you can take a tour of the Turtle Nursery to interact with adorable baby turtle hatchlings which you can hand-feed a specialised turtle formula.
