PNG Cruise     , VIC, Australia, Oct 2024
Tracey was amazing. She enabled a worry free cruise experience from the very beginning of the process until the end. Keeping me well informed and up to date with changes. I would highly recommend the PNG cruise, one of the few ways to experience what is uncharted paradise to our north. Beautiful people, scenery and amazing history. As a destination, ...read more it may not be as finessed as other, more popular destinations in the pacific region but it is certainly worth the visit.
Loved PNG. Did not love the boat.   , Australia, Aug 2024
I felt the boat is looking old. The food offered not good quality. Or variety. There is plenty of food but rarely anything fresh and often. Cool to warm. Rather than hot. All staff were excellent, on board and off. Entertainment was limited to very basic, except for a very articulate and interesting historian who presented 3 talks on PNG. I loved ...read more visiting PNG.
P&O cruise 🚢 Vanuatu trip   , New Zealand, Jul 2024
You have done a wonderful job sorting my cruise out. The cruise wasn’t as good as other companies. We got mocktail, coffee drinks cards. Excited and got to the bar to order a mocktail they only gave a choice of two mocktails kiwi fruit or lychee flavoured - great introduction gosh, real downer, bar staff gave the feeling that we’re cheap. The duty free ...read more only stocked blue cartons of smokes $81 for 8 packets of 25s. If you wanted Red you could purchase from the cafe a packet for around $50 not completely sure. Pretty bad, hard choice, got a carton of smokes. Bottles range from about $40 Australian thankfully Port Vila had good prices. I won 2 tickets for massages they were looking at me side ways when I booked in for them. My daughter went in before me and came out after me. Gosh they’re money hungry 😋. The food would be considered wonderful for some but compared to other ships doesn’t compare. I did enjoy the cruise. My rating is for you Tracey 10/10 thanks!
