The World - Luxury Residences at Sea

We watched the Baining people dance before the fire, not a reenactment, but a real tribe, performing their ancient ritual deep within the island’s forest.

Back onboard we had learned so much about this culture, but even so, the fifteen of us gazed on in amazement as the men walked through hot coals, and the villagers sang and danced in vibrant costumes made from bark cloth and bamboo.

Each act explained their history, celebrated life, or remembered those who passed.

And despite our excitement at witnessing something even the most seasoned travelers rarely see, the experience was beautiful in its own right, straight up to the point where they threw their masks into the flames, ending both their dance and our unforgettable Papua New Guinea expedition.
