cruise in Papua

Feature

New Guinea :

"As soon as we had dropped anchor, ten or so dugout canoes loaded with men and women surrounded our boat‌" No explorer from the past would omit to portray such a scene, in his log, upon arriving in a populated island of the Pacific Ocean. Our photographer, Franco Barbagallo, is taking us on board on "mega hyper" yacht all technological and super ecological of 50 meters long for a dream cruise in the heart of Papua.
