Looking for Advice on a Passage from Australia to Thailand
Published 16 years ago, updated 6 years ago
We are currently planning a cruise from Australia (mid east coast) to Thailand. We would like to go: Bundaberg – New Caledonia – Vanuatu – possibly the Solomons – possibly PNG / or the Caroline Islands – Palau – possibly Philippines – Malaysian Borneo.
Although we would like to depart Australia at the start of the cruising season, circumstances have us leaving at a more likely date of August. We would appreciate some tips on the timing of such a route. We obviously want to avoid cyclones/typhoons, but we also don’t want to rush.
We also have concerns about safety along this route; are there still security issues with cruising the Solomons and PNG? What about the southern tip of the Philippines / northern tip of Borneo – is this still considered unsafe?
Any information from fellow cruisers on timing and safety issues would be very welcome.
