The Aussie expedition cruiser Orion pays a call on its new Melanesia & Solomon Islands itinerary to Ngella Island.


The Aussie expedition cruiser Orion pays a call on its new Melanesia & Solomon Islands itinerary to Ngella Island in the Solomons, where a similar expedition ship, World Discoverer, hit a reef and went aground in 2001. Passengers came to no harm but the vessel was abandoned and now makes for a haunting landmark at Roderick Bay, Ngella, Solomon Islands.
