Newly operating in the waters of Papua New Guinea, the MV Oceania is a 27 metre catamaran accommodating up to 16 guests. Having just undergone an extensive refit, the Oceania is fresh and modern and offers guest cabins in a combination of twin-share and queen bed cabins. All cabins are en-suite, air-conditioned and those that are above deck have an incredible ocean view. Located on the main deck, an indoor saloon is equipped with all your entertainment needs while a dining room serves local and Western cuisine. Outside, the outdoor lounge with BBQ area is the perfect place to watch the sun go down. From February through to March, for 10 nights the MV Oceania visits the Milne Bay area. Exciting for lovers of both pelagic and small reef dwelling creatures; spot manta rays, hammerhead sharks and frogfish. The rest of the season, divers visit the three most popular diving areas of Kimbe Bay, Witu Islands and Father Reefs. These tours operate from 7, 8, 9 or 10 nights.
