Creator's Key Takeaways
PNG is on Australia's doorstep but as we alluded to earlier literally a world away.
We left feeling pretty flat and shocked at the absolute poverty and the lack of modcons in our first real insight into life in Papu New Guinea.
I'm pretty disappointed that our nearest neighbor has been allowed to basically live in this undeveloped state for so many decades.
I was also blown away by how beautiful naturally PNG is.

We cruised from Brisbane to Papua New Guinea (PNG), stopping at Alotau, Kiriwina Island, Rabaul and the Conflict Islands. We cruised with P&O Australia (now Carnival Cruises) on the Pacific Encounter (now the Carnival Encounter). Never having been to PNG before, we really enjoyed our taster. But it wasn't all positive. Watch our episode and see why we were shocked. #cruisetravel #cruise #cruiseship #cruiselife #cruiser #papuanewguinea #png #brisbane #brisbanecruiseterminal #alotau #kiriwnaisland #rabaul #conflictislands
