Sunset Lounge onboard Paspaley by PONANT.
The extraordinary 16 day expedition will see luxury travellers immerse themselves in the wonders of Papua New Guinea, travelling from Mount Hagen to Madang. The adventure begins with a winding exploration of secluded villages in the country’s highlands, where travellers will witness eerie cultural performances rarely seen outside private local communities, before boarding PASPALEY PEARL. The boutique motor yacht will take curious guests to the rarely visited corners of Papua New Guinea, seeking out biodiversity hotspots, spectacular scenery, and remote islands.
The Omo Masalai Skeleton dancers.
During this remarkable voyage, guests will stay at a community-operated eco lodge, offering the rare opportunity to observe vibrant bird-of-paradise and other endemic species in their natural habitat. The journey continues with immersive visits to traditional villages, where they can experience captivating tribal dances and explore ancient, sacred caves. They will marvel at awe-inspiring volcanoes (active and dormant), be mesmerised by legendary fire dancing, and indulge in a host of bespoke adventures. This is more than just a trip; it’s a journey into the heart of a timeless, unspoilt paradise.
