As a solo traveller, you may well have scratched Papua New Guinea off your list as perhaps being too risky to travel alone. Visiting this undeniably fascinating region with Silversea is ideal for solo travellers as all travel arrangements are taken care of and you are travelling as part of a group, on guided excursions. Yet with a small ship, you’re not “lost amongst the masses” and there is plenty of space to find your own quiet time away from other people.
New in 2018, we invite solo guests to a pre-cruise cocktail party offering you the chance to meet other guests prior to boarding the ship.
Departing 21 June 2018
Avoid paying the single occupancy surcharge with Ultimate Cruising’s solo traveller matching service where we will match you with another solo traveller of the same gender in an Explorer or Vista Suite.
Or, for just 25% extra, enjoy sole use of the cabin!
Immerse yourself in the intriguing history and culture of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia with visits to local villages, markets, forests and fjords. Discover World War II remains and memorials in Alotau and artefacts and crafts in the villages of Papua New Guinea and the distinctive bark art and motifs of Indonesia. Enjoy the cultural experience of riding the traditional long boats to a local village to see the dancing and see the famous lake artefacts. Admire the colourful coral and marine life with fantastic snorkelling opportunities and, if possible, visit remote islands and local villages to witness day-to-day life. This voyage gives you a rare glimpse into village life in both Papua New Guinea and Indonesia and is a treat for those with an interest in different cultures and traditions.
