Sepik River Cruise: Sepik Spirit Liveaboard Boat

Discover the Sepik River on the famous liveaboard vessel with day trips to Sepik River Villages available. 

The Sepik River is your gateway into one of the last frontiers of humanity, the most untouched reach of the earth by modernity, and the cradle of hundreds of different languages. 1146 km long, the Sepik is one of the planet's greatest and most epic river journeys. Vivified in the minds and museums of the world, this prism of fantastic stratified culture up and down an enormous geographic area ranges through hundreds of different and distinct languages and cultures, many still a mystery as to how they got there and why they became so unique. This is where your cultural buffet begins.
