Kiwi_cruiser Posted April 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This has already been posted over on the P&O Cruises ( Australia ) forum, but I know not everyone checks that forum, so I thought it would not do any harm in posting this here as well... P&O Cruises Launches First Dedicated Papua New Guinea Cruises Tuesday, 10 April 2012 P&O Cruises has added exotic Papua New Guinea to its great range of Pacific destinations, with the cruise line announcing new cruises visiting the remote islands and towns of spectacular Milne Bay. In a first for P&O Cruises, Papua New Guinea will feature in two dedicated itineraries, with Pacific Dawn sailing from Brisbane to the turquoise waters of Milne Bay, where it will visit the local capital Alotau as well as the beautiful white sand beaches of Doini Island and the culturally-rich Trobriand Islands, also known as the Islands of Love, along the northern straits of the Bay.

We've been crying out for new itineraries...maybe include the Solomon Islands as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted April 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Lovely to see new itineraries to Papua New Guinea, which holds a unique fascination for many Australians. "A highlight of the new 2013-14 program, the Papua New Guinea sailings are priced from $1049* per person quad share for a nine-night cruise, with the maiden cruise to Milne Bay in October 2013 timed to coincide with the sacred Canoe and Kundu Festival where local communities compete in canoe races, costume display and cultural performances. The short break cruises start from $529 per person quad share for a three-night cruise from Sydney." Noticed prices still quoted pp quad share - $1049 x 4 for 9 nights $529 pp x 4 for 3 nights I haven't noticed prices quoted per quad share anywhere else in the world. Why do you think Carnival Australia quotes prices per quad share in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
