NEW 2026 & 2027 INTERNATIONAL ITINERARIES RELEASED
Join us as we unveil five extraordinary new itineraries exploring Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Melanesia
Get closer to some of the world’s most culturally rich and geographically remote regions, our northern neighbours, where tribal traditions thrive and island coastlines remain largely untouched.
These voyages go far beyond the tourist trail, charting a course through vibrant markets and volcanic highlands. From the Sepik River to Sulawesi, these journeys offer rare encounters few travellers will ever experience.
With over 12 years of exploration in these waters, we’ve built deep relationships with local communities and gained unique insight into these ancient customs. These handcrafted itineraries reflect that legacy, connecting you with the spirit, stories and natural beauty of these extraordinary frontier lands.
