LOST PARADISE OF PNG If you are seeking a truly memorable experience, right on Australias doorstep yet far removed from the familiar tourist hotspots of the South pacifi c, look no further than Papua New Guinea; a tropical paradise time has forgotten and tourism largely overlooked. During March and October 2012, the two luxurious 100 g uest expedition ships Orion and Orion II explore the islands of Papua New Guinea, with a choice of six 11-night voyages to select from. Accompany a specialist expedition team and visit isolated villages, encounter primitive tribal cultures, see superb indigenous artwork and carvings, unique fl ora and fauna and enjoy world-class snorkelling in the famed bio-diverse Coral Triangle. Until relatively recently this was still an isolated world of head-hunters, a land of mytholog y, sorcery and witchcraft. The last haunts of the cannibals. Yet step ashore with Orions expedition team and you will be amazed to be greeted with a broad smile and a warm welcome from gentle villag ers an eye opening introduction to a way of life far removed from our Western world. This land of 800 languages with its cultural diversity will take your breath away. Whether it is the mysterious art of the Sepik or the feathered head dresses of the Tufi tribesman, the historic battle grounds of World War II, volcanic tropical fjords or pristine white sand beaches, Orions expeditions to Papua New Guinea will provide experiences that will stay with you for life.
