YouTube Video Description↓

One of the most popular itineraries on the P&O schedule is the PNG cruise, called the New Guinea Islands Encounter. We took the 10 day cruise from Brisbane on the Pacific Encounter which visited the ports of Alotau, Rabaul, Kiriwina Island and the Conflict Islands. This video is an 'off the cuff' review of our thoughts on the ship and the cruise which we put together on the morning of our disembarkation. We realise that everyone can have different expectations and these are just our thoughts as we prepared to disembark the ship.
