Sue9 Posted October 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We are booked on Pacific Eden 2016 PNG and Solomons. Do we need to get a visa for these destinations or are these arranged on board. Thanks for your help. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to get a visa for these destinations or are these arranged on board. Thanks for your help. Sue I know visa restrictions for Australians got more strict from the 1st Jan 2015 . When you flew into PNG you used to be able to get them upon arrival FOC but now they had to be arranged prior to departure at a fee at the PNG consulate or embassy in Australia I only know as I had to apply for one earlier this year for work. Whether this has changed the rules for cruise ship passengers I don't know, however I would imagine it would. The cruise ship company should know as the rules are somewhat different for cruise ship passenger than when flying. I would love to know because I am contemplating PNG for 2017 for a cruise. Have fun on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birder1 Posted October 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I just returned from a PNG cruise (albeit, on Princess & I am American). Princess simply charged all passengers $6(AUD?) & we didn't have to surrender our passports for the visa. In fact, I chased-down the PNG immigration officer (onboard) to obtain a stamp (showing only entry to PNG - no exit!). My fellow Australians had the same experience. Hope this helps. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
