Cruise offers to the port Rabaul / Papua New Guinea
Today, the city is often used as a base for trips to the volcano or under water. The setting is gorgeous, with palm-fringed beaches, while the inland is characterized by lush vegetation and small caves. Underwater there is a heavenly world of fish and even to dive close to the harbor is an experience, as some shipwrecks from World War II are here on the ground. In the city there is a lively market, but otherwise there is not much left from its former beauty. But the city has kept its charm and thus is worth a stay.
