Tauck charters Orion for PNG Expedition Adventure of a Lifetime
Travel the World and Tauck World Discovery have announced a special 13-day expedition to Papua New Guinea this October 2007, onboard the 106 passenger Aussie operated Orion and if you have clients that wanted to explore this nearest neighbourhood and also have an interest in World War II in that area, then this is the tour for them!
The tour starts in Cairns on 11 October 2007 (northbound) or 22 October 2007 (southbound) and includes 12 days onboard the 5-star Orion exploring the “land of a thousand cultures”, Papua New Guinea, with the first stop at Alotau, which is not only the gateway to the stunning Milne Bay and its colourful coral reef but is steeped in World War II history, with the relics of the Battle of Milne Bay, when the Allied troops defeated the Japanese land forces in World War II.
Your clients can explore the sunken World War II wrecks in Deboyne Lagoon, or sip coconut milk and ripe mangoes before heading to the Trobriand Islands where they will visit remote Kitava Island and enjoy cultural displays.
The beauty of the 4,000 ton Aussie operated Orion is that at just 338 feet she can sail into hard to reach ports, including secluded Cape Nelson where there are more than 30 fjords.
With the stunning Madang Harbour the next port of call, also brimming with World War II history, a Tauck Exclusive awaits your clients at the Sepik River with a tour of a traditional village, something only permitted by the village chief in recent times.
Another Tauck Exclusive is at the final port, Rabaul, where your clients will be captivated by the Bainings Fire Dancers – a truly magical experience and one that most people never get to see.
The 13-day Tauck expedition to PNG departs Cairns on 11 October 2007 (northbound) and 22 October 2007 (southbound) with prices starting from US$7,890 plus airfare and the tour package includes a 12-day cruise on the Orion, private Tauck shore excursions, port charges, wine with dinner and gratuities.
