papua New Guinea Cultural Highlightsamazing, courageous and opportunistic explorers they were. until you have been to Orion’s papua New guinea it is hard to fathom how anyone got here – a lost paradise of excitable, sincere welcomes. “remote” is an understatement as we witness completely mysterious ceremonies blended with the hues of a thousand cultures from islands and archipelagos that stretch from Cairns to the solomons. rainforests blanket the mountains and hills that flow down ancient volcanic peaks to the sea. our ship morphs into this backdrop of coastal villages and lush vegetation. You are reminded of how to live with nothing more than the skill and knowledge of a sustainable culture. We swim in waters so clear they induce vertigo.

each day of these expeditions will reveal much of the recent history of papua New guinea including the major heroic events from WWll. the first land victory against the Japanese in 1942 at Milne Bay was hailed as destroying the legend of Japanese ‘invincibility’. WWii relics are everywhere, from abandoned airfields to landing barges

overgrown by jungle. this land of 800 languages, the cultural diversity will take your breath away. Whether it is the mysterious art of the sepik or the feathered headdresses of a tufi tribesman, it never fails to astonish. From volcanic tropical fiords, flooded craters like rabaul’s simpson harbour, to pristine white sand beaches, the beauty of papua New guinea is wonderfully varied. experience pNg for 11 nights departing from Cairns or rabaul with the option of the exclusive charter flight leaving from Cairns to embark or disembark from rabaul. One way charter flight between cairns and rabaul is available for an additional $600.

spice Island Adventureremote, exotic and aromatic, the spice islands evoke visions of 17th century dutch explorers building a wealthy trading empire, far from their european home. the history of this region is as rich and pungent as the spices it produced. explorers and world wars have traversed this isolated line of islands, and yet their culture remains unique and intact. Centuries of artisan’s creations are expressed in colourful and unique artworks. Naturalists will marvel at the diversity of flora and fauna demarked by the Wallace line. Further to the west, the pre-historic dragons of Komodo remind us how short our human history is. Wallacea is the epitome of Orion’s raison d’être.

this voyage promises the excitement of old places and traditions captured anew. history and customs, long forgotten, rediscovered as you visit exotic Kisar, alor, Maumere, Komodo, sumba and rote. this voyage embarks and disembarks in darwin allowing convenient air connections.
