MTS Discoverer Cruises - Papua New Guinea




	MTS Discoverer Papua New Guinea

Expect the Unexpected

Papua New Guinea is not predictable, it defies comparisons, it cannot be confined to the ordinary ... it is the Land of the Unexpected.

This is a voyage of true discovery, into the heart and soul of a country where a sense of timelessness prevails and the only certainty is that of constant surprise and delight.

Prepare to be astounded!

The Small Ship Advantage

The 'MTS Discoverer' goes where others cannot ... into the most remote waterways, rivers and islands of the world, penetrating deep into the essential Papua New Guinea.

As a PNG owned and registered vessel, the ship operates without restrictions, but with total flexibility that embraces weather, cultural activities and the specific interests of our passengers.

We are not reliant on land agents, so we have the ability to visit untouched islands and villages ... and where the ship cannot go, our tenders do, plus on selected cruises our own helicopter can carry you even further afield.

Shipboard life is relaxed, friendly and sociable ... there are no dress codes other than what is dicated by your personal comfort.

The 'MTS Discoverer' is in every respect, an intimate experience!

Priceless Memories That Endure

This voyage of a lifetime will become indelibly etched into your memory.

The richness and diversity of what unfolds is irresistible ... nothing you've previously experienced can prepare you for what is to come and just when you think you've seen it all, PNG will astound you anew.

You step aboard a stranger, but such is the depth and genuineness of what awaits, you depart as a friend .. a member of the ship's company. It is no co-incidence that almost half our passengers are on return trips or come on the enthusiastic referral of others who've travelled with us before. We promise you memories more vivid than a Sepik sunrise!

The Melanesian Foundation - Creating a Legacy
Although we venture beyond the mundane tourism bounds, we do not intrude carelessly ... this is our country and the only footprint we leave is one to benefit the people.
Established in 1975, the Melanesian Foundation seeks to make a positive contribution to the well-being of the peoples whose territory we travel.
Funded by our company and grateful passengers, the Foundation provides health and medical services, supplies and posts ... educational and sporting materials and equipment ... in fact anything to improve the quality of life for people of these remote areas.
In recognition of its efforts, the Foundation received the prestigious 2000 PATA Gold Award for Sustainable Tourism.
