The 'QE2' arrived at Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea), on the 27th February 1983. After a one day stop-over, the 'QE2' set sail and arrived at Bali (Indonesia) on the 4th March 1983. After crossing the Equator (heading North), the next port of call was another one day stop-over at Singapore on the 6th March 1983. The final port of call in this programme was another one day stop-over at Pattaya (Thailand) on the 9th March1983, but this time, it wasn't just the passengers sampling the local delights and hidden treasures.

Quotes
Self - Presenter: [Introduction] 50 seafarers take to the skies, the more adventurous cruisers are flying into the unknown and high above Port Moresby, get their last longing look at home, the 'QE2'. Such a wrench leaving that familiar security. The Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea were unknown to Europeans until the 30s, when the first white men arrived searching for gold. Today we're searching for mud men, five thousand feet up in the mountains at Goroka where our local sing-sing groups of the airport to meet us.
[pause]
Self - Presenter: Strange to recall a first wheel that Papuans ever saw, was on an aircraft !.
