SPECIAL PNG CRUISE OFFER FOR READERS

Marina Svetaeva Our friends at Aurora Expeditions have designed a very special offer for readers: a 15% discount on two 11-day voyages aboard the 100-passenger expedition ship, Marina Svetaeva.

You’ve never seen Papua New Guinea quite like this.  A floating hotel calling at some of the exotic places you dreamed of going to, or dreamed of going back to.

Marina Svetaeva is an excellent vessel for this kind of exploration - a fleet of Zodiacs makes it easy to get ashore in even the remotest locations, and spacious viewing decks allow you to relax, cool drink in hand, and watch PNG drifting by. You also have the options of kayaking and scuba diving or taking helicopter rides to explore further inland.

Aurora Expeditions' cruises emphasise the real Papua New Guinea: the people, the scenery, the environment. This is an authentic experience for anyone who knows and loves PNG, or anyone who wants to experience the pure magic of the country.

Prices range from $4.495 (discounted for readers from $5,290) per person quad-share, including all meals on board and Zodiac excursions.
