Recognized for the charm and friendly hospitality of the local people, North Queensland has an array of holiday experiences and attractions to offer year-round. Cairns Far North Queensland is the perfect escape for nature lovers with spectacular National Parks abundant with amazing bird and animal life. While the more adventurous can dive the Great Barrier Reef, raft the rapids of the Baron River, or rappel down a ravine. Cairns situated on the coast is often described as the jewel of North Queensland. It is also the gateway to the magnificent natural attractions of the whole region extending from the northernmost point of Queensland out to Gulf Savannah in the west and down to Townsville another major city of North Queensland not to be missed. These two cities offer the pinnacle of dining and nightlife with a unique North Queensland flavor. Cairns has been called paradise by many because of its location, the beauty of the reef, and the spectacular scenery of the hinterland that surrounds this coastal city. In Cairns, you will discover an amazing array of cultures. Charming seafront walking paths and the new fantastic Esplanade redevelopment project add such character to this charming city. Restaurants, cafes, cosmopolitan shopping, and activities are everyday events in this bustling town. Only a short drive away you come to Cairns northern beaches which will delight anyone. This is the place to ride horses, sail, windsurf, or relax under a palm tree and watch the colors of the sky change as the sun sets. The beaches are made up of Machans, Holloways, Yorkeys Knob, Trinity, Palm Cove and Ellis Beaches. Each is a small separate township with its distinctive character. Together, the beachside towns provide much of Cairns's accommodation. From the beaches to the mountains, a day trip up to Atherton Tablelands will be spectacular where you can canoe on freshwater lakes, shop in craft stores, and view some of the majestic views across the mountains to the sea.

The local history, culture, and tropical lifestyle are to be truly envied and enjoyed when visiting North Queensland. There is a diverse mix of cultures and people that are proud to call this area home. The first inhabitants were the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who fished and hunted the abundant wildlife of the region, then came the Dutch navigators and Captain James Cook, who claimed the land for Britain and instrumented the settlement of European communities. The tropical climate encourages an outdoor lifestyle with the famous Queensland barbeque influencing cuisine in the tropics. Exotic fruits and spectacular seafood are also a normal way of eating when visiting or living in the North.

Day 9 Cruising
Day 10 Port of Call Alotau Arrival 11:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Alotau is the capital of the Milne Bay Province in PNG. It is a very scenic town on the north shore of the actual bay named Milne Bay. The town of Alotau is located within the area in which the invading Japanese army suffered their first land defeat in the Pacific War in 1942, before the Kokoda Trail battle. A memorial park at the old battle site commemorates this historic fact. The Milne Bay people deserve a reputation for being friendly, easy-going, and happy. The dangers warned against inother centerss are still largely unknown. The lack of a road link out of the Province probably helps maintain this situation. Getting to Alotau is easy. There are daily flights on Qantas and Air Nuigini from many destinations to Port Moresby International Airport. From Port Moresby daily flights on Air Nuigini and MBA Airlines operate to Gurney Airport near Alotau. The airport is located 12 km from town.

Day 11 Cruising
Day 12 Port of Call Madang Arrival 7:00am Departure 4:00pm

Overview

Madang has earned the reputation of being the prettiest town in the South Pacific. Madang Province has an outstanding mountain range and coastal and island beauty. Its population of 240,000 is broken into four definite groups — islander, coastal, river, and mountain. They differ physically and it is easy to see the different tribal characteristics in people's facial features. Hansa Bay was a bloody battlefield during WWII before Australia defeated the Japanese in Wewak, and reminders remain today. Sunken ships provide interesting dive locations and there is an abandoned airstrip — complete with plane wrecks — to visit. Madang is a showplace of parks, waterways, shady trees, and tropical islands. The small town has hotels, department stores, markets, and souvenir and artifact shops. There is a Museum and Cultural Centre and displays of traditional seagoing vessels. Markets with stalls selling fruit, vegetables, clothing, nuts, fi,s h, and artifacts are run by local villagers and provide an interesting place to wander, every day except Sunday. Madang is one of Papua New Guinea's most popular tourist spots, but that doesn't mean bustling crowds. Its popularity has increased thanks to it being one of the world's best diving locations, created by warm fertile waters that surge through passages and channels. The waters support a superb range of colorful and diverse sea life. Those who know say it is at least equal to diving places such as the Red Sea, the Caribbean, and the Great Barrier Reef. Apart from the old wrecks, it has reefs, shark diving, drift di, I,n,g, and shallow lagoons. Out of the water, there's also plenty of sightseeing to be done, including helicopter tours to inland villages.

Day 14 Cruising
Day 15 Port of Call Koror Arrival 9:00am Departure 5:00pm

Overview

Koror is the capital of Palau and home to two-thirds of the republic's population. It is a much less vibrant town than it was when the Japanese called it theirs, with a Micronesian pace and no particular penchant for hustle and bustle. Visitors will still find remnants of a more traditional past, but at best it is good for a day or two of exploration. Beyond that, use Koror as a jumping-off point for trips to the Rock Islands, Peleliu, Angaur, and the other islands. On Koror Island, the Belau National Museum is a good place to firm up your understanding of the nation's culture and history. It is packed with exhibits ranging from the mounted head of a 5m crocodile to Palauan bead and shell money, intricately carved storyboards, and other local artifacts and crafts.

Day 18 Port of Call Manila Arrival 1:00pm

Overview

Manila, officially the City of Manila, is the capital of the Philippines and the most densely populated city proper in the world. The term "Manila" is commonly used to refer to the whole metropolitan area, the greater metropolitan area, or the city proper. The officially defined metropolitan area called Metro Manila, the capital region of the Philippines, includes the much larger Quezon City and the Makati Central Business District. It is the most populous region of the country, one of the most populous urban areas in the world, and one of the wealthiest regions in Southeast Asia. The city proper was home to 1,780,148 people in 2015 and is the historic core of a built-up area that extends well beyond its administrative limits. With 71,263 people per square kilometer, Manila is also the most densely populated city in the world. The city is located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay. The Pasig River flows through the middle of the city, dividing it into the north and south sections. Manila is made up of 16 administrative districts: Binondo, Ermita, Intramuros, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, Port Area, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Andres, San Miguel, San Nicolas, Santa Ana, Santa Cruz, Santa Mesa, and Tondo, while it is divided into six districts for its representation in Congress and the election of the city council members. In 2016, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network listed Manila as an "alpha –" global city.

Day 20 Cruising
Day 21 Port of Call Hong Kong Arrival 9:00am

Overview

Hong Kong is a place of contrasts. Sleek, glassy skyscrapers shine above Old World markets where chicken feet and dried squid are displayed for sale. Archaic wooden boats bob past sleek cruise liners. Subway stations and expressway interchanges dot a landscape cluttered with Rolls Royce and rickshaws. Hong Kong Island was ceded to Britain in 1842 when those serving the British crown attacked the island. Though it was deeded back to China in 1997, Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy, especially in its economy and municipal government. Hong Kong is one of the most unique Chinese cities in the world. The 417-square-mile island off the coast of China offers visitors a slice of authentic Chinese culture with all the amenities of home. A modern metropolis teeming with Eastern and Western influences, Hong Kong is the world's third-largest financial center, the so-called “Wall Street of Asia,” and a shopping gold mine. Shopping? Yes indeed. Hong Kong is a duty-free port and the world's leading exporter of toys, garments, watches, and electronics. As a result, the vast majority of the 10 million annual visitors come with an empty suitcase that they fill up after visiting the malls, street bazaars (Stanley Market is world famous), textile and tailor shops, and jade and electronic stores. Those willing to look beyond the bargain-basement prices will find that Hong Kong is more than the world’s largest department store – it’s a cultural Mecca with wining and dining, museums, and historic attractions. Be sure to ride the world-famous Star Ferry across the harbor to Hong Kong Island, admire the mansions on Repulse Bay, drop in to see the temples on Cat Street, visit the fishing boats and villages in Aberdeen, and take a tram ride up to Victoria Peak (the island’s highest peak sitting 1,308-feet above the city) for a stunning panoramic view. If you have time to go further, travel to Macau, a former Portuguese colony with a casino, and the New Territories of China, a Hong Kong bedroom community that “sleeps” near China’s border.

Prime C

Specialty Dining

Aqualina: At Aqualina, you'll find some of Italy's most celebrated dishes as well as contemporary inventive cuisine. Start with lobster ravioli, followed by arugula and radicchio with prosciutto chips, and a Venetian seafood platter. You won't be able to say no to these famous desserts: marsala custard, lemon soufflé, or tiramisu. The chefs love to be inspired, so after an on shore visit to a local market, you can also expect a delectable dish so local, you'll feel like you're not onboard anymore.

Prime C: At Prime C, you're in for more than an array of delectable dining such as steaks cooked to perfection, crab cakes with remoulade, lobster bisque, lamb, game hens and seafood. Last but certainly not least, try the mini cinnamon-sugar donuts with dipping sauces for dessert. Expect a marvelous evening in a warm wood-paneled ambiance with stunning views and lush décor. If the chef has made a visit to a local market while in port, you'll also have an authentic local dish to look forward to.

Specialty Dining: Specialty dining is complimentary for suite guests. For others, there is a $30 per-person cover. Reservations are highly recommended.
