Day 1

Port Moresby
Board Amika in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea and the natural gateway to the country’s coastal and island regions. Spend the afternoon settling in, exploring the waterfront, or visiting a local market before returning to the yacht for a welcome dinner on deck. It is a refined introduction to a destination known for its energy, warmth, and remarkable sense of place.

Day 2

Conflict Islands
Cruise toward the Conflict Islands, a remote coral atoll surrounded by clear water and vibrant marine life. Spend the day snorkeling, swimming, or simply relaxing on a secluded beach, where the pace slows and the natural setting becomes the main attraction. The isolation of the islands makes them an exceptional stop for guests seeking both privacy and beauty.

Day 3

Madang
Continue to Madang, one of Papua New Guinea’s most scenic coastal regions, celebrated for its tropical islands, reefs, and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Enjoy a day of diving, snorkeling, or exploring nearby coves, with opportunities to experience the area’s rich marine environment from both above and below the surface. Back on board, sunset drinks and dinner create a calm and elegant close to the day.

Day 4

Rabaul
Arrive in Rabaul, a destination shaped by volcanic landscapes, history, and striking coastal scenery. Guests can explore ash-covered terrain, visit viewpoints over the bay, or discover the region’s powerful sense of resilience and transformation before returning to Amika for an evening at anchor. It is one of the most dramatic and memorable stops in New Guinea.

Day 5

New Britain
Sail on to New Britain, where lush rainforest, quiet anchorages, and strong cultural traditions create a deeply immersive experience. Spend the day visiting local communities, enjoying watersports, or exploring the coastline by tender, then return for a private dinner under the stars. The island’s mix of wilderness and heritage gives the itinerary a wonderfully distinct character.

Day 6

Sepik Coast
Cruise toward the Sepik region, known for its great river systems and rich indigenous culture. This is a day for discovery, whether through a guided shore visit, local craft encounters, or a scenic journey along calm waters that reveal a slower and more traditional way of life. As evening falls, Amika offers a serene retreat after a day of cultural immersion.

Day 7

Offshore Islands
