Your sailing trip
The annual Kenu and Kundu Festival will be held the 6th – 8th of November, 2015 in Alotau, Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea
Canoes and Kundu drums are a significant part of the lives of the people of Milne Bay and the islands and archipelagos of eastern Papua New Guinea.The canoe and the Kundu are widely used in traditional ceremonies and rituals in Milne Bay. The ‘war canoes’ are especially crafted from special woods under strict customs to derive the best results and ensure their use is a successful or victorious one.The canoes used in the festival are crafted the same way as the ancestors of the Milne Bay people built their own canoes many years ago.The colours and patterns reflect the tribe and the area the canoe comes from.
Traditional dancing groups will be represented from all over the Milne Bay province, including Eastern parts of the Papuan Region – creating a rich variety of performances.
Prizes are given to winning groups and the canoes are assembled a day earlier at Wagawaga Island, to form a convoy before sailing to Alotau for the official opening ceremony.
Other activities include arts and craft displays, string band competitions and traditional and contemporary drama performances.
Infinity will be joining the canoes at Wagawaga Island, you will have a chance to see the races and magnificent canoes from the vantage point of our ship.

Infinity is a fully-equipped 36 meter sailing expedition vessel on an ongoing voyage since 2003. She has traveled to over 2 dozen countries in both the North and South Pacific and in Southeast Asia and she has sailed amongst icebergs, penguins, and orcas in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, and Patagonia. She is crewed by a multicultural team with a contagiously positive vibe together with Captain Clemens Oestreich, who has skippered vessels for over 100,000 miles during the last 20 years, while raising his 5 children at sea. Infinity is built to be a world-traveling base for adventure and environmental work, forming a beautiful home with unique history and personality. The living quarters are designed with comfortable guest cabins and large communal spaces including an airy saloon, cinema, and extensive deck space. To date, over 200 crew members from all around the world have been part of many extraordinary adventures. They dove with wales and sharks, participated in environmental outreach and even battled deep-sea oil drilling companies. Infinity is open to guests for the first time this year.

Cruise activities and tips
Travel organizer tips
•You are free to create your own extraordinary adventure with Infinity as your base. We support you actively along the way, providing a safe and comfortable home and delicious meals daily.
•This is a community-oriented vessel and home to family. Children are always a part of the fun!
•A wealth of activities are available at no extra cost. Sail and seamanship training, yoga, most shore excursions, beach clean-ups, capoeira, and cooking classes are all part of the journey.
•The multicultural team aboard will involve guest crew with the whole experience of sailing and living at sea. You will be invited and encouraged to snoop around the engine room, explore the deck, raise the sails, and steer the ship. With inclusive service, you are free to immerse into the experience, yet participate at your own pace.
•Important to Infinity is sustainable travel and reduced impact on the planet. The earth is not loot to be plundered but a treasure to be protected so that it can be enjoyed, loved, and cherished by generations to come. The aim is to create a new model of communal living that is not only self-sustaining but actively makes a positive contribution to our planet.
•Massive amounts of rubbish wash up on the shores of the remote islands of the Pacific. On Infinity, crew regularly roll up their sleeves and take away as much trash as can be delivered to appropriate recycling facilities. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
• Crew come together from all over the world to participate in this vibrant community out of love for what they do. Everyone works hard for almost free so you can have an incredible experience at the lowest cost anywhere (please reflect your appreciation with a tip!). To Infinity, these jobs are not jobs and these journeys are not trips: it’s a lifestyle.
