When luxury goes exploring, you are on a Regent ship. Intimate and inviting, the comfortable Seven Seas Navigator is the perfect size.
Just 496 guests enjoy space, comfort and great value on board
this, the smallest of the Regent Seven Seas ships. With spacious
accommodation, a relaxed and unpretentious style and good dining
choices, the most all-inclusive of all luxury cruise lines is
perhaps the perfect choice for laid-back travellers.
Cairns is a buzzing tourist hub, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. A snorkelling trip out to the reef is the most obvious excursion to take here, but other options include riding the Skyrail cableway over the rainforest canopy or swimming in the croc-free saltwater lagoon.
Looming over Rabaul is smouldering Mount Tavurvur, an active volcano that buried much of the city when it erupted in 1994, and which still periodically belches smoke and ash. Rabaul is also an appealing destination for history buffs, with several World War II sites still scattered with rusting wreckage.
Alotau is the capital of Milne Bay province, on the remote eastern tip of mainland Papua New Guinea. Milne Bay was the scene of heavy fighting during the Second World War, and today you can dive amongst the wreckage left behind. Alotau also serves as a base for visiting the nearby islands, including the fascinating Trobriand archipelago.
