years.
2017 cruise (now booking) – Papua New Guinea (13th cruise)
This exciting 10 night cruise out of Brisbane to Papua New Guinea and its islands opened for bookings earlier this year. It is a completely different kind of itinerary to one of the emerging and exciting new cruise destinations. It offers a great balance of conference (during the 4 days at sea) and places to visit during the 5 days in ports and/or around islands – great sightseeing and fascinating shore excursions.

It will feature a special WWII Pacific war
stream within our usual wide ranging conference program to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the Pacific war coming to Australia and New Guinea in 1942. The
war in this region was very much part of the greater Pacific war. American
ships were sunk in Australian waters. Almost 1 million American and Canadian service
personnel, including 100,000 African-Americans, passed through Australia from 1941
to 1945.The conference program will be headed by Dr Tom Lewis, one of
Australia’s foremost Pacific war historians and authors, supported by other
recognised experts.
2018 cruise (provisional) – Alaska (14th
cruise) NEW
This provisional 7 night cruise to Alaska from Seattle is planned for later August or early September 2018 – our 14th Unlock the Past cruise. Unlock the Past cruises offer unique opportunities to learn more about discovering your family history in great company while visiting great destinations.

We have often been asked about a cruise to
Alaska. Now we have provisionally committed to one in 2018. Why provisional?
2018 cruise schedules won’t be released until early 2017 and we need some time
to confirm there is enough interest to support a program featuring leading
international speakers.
A genealogy conference on the high seas? Not only do you get
all the fun of a regular cruise, you have the opportunity to network with other
family historians from all over the world. The best part: the lectures and
educational presentations are offered by some of the leading speakers in the
genealogy industry. And Unlock the Past Cruises has the best selection of
destinations and speakers hands down! – Thomas
MacEntee, United States, 4th cruise presenter
Only one thing beats a good genealogy conference, and that
is a genealogy conference that offers a chance to see a bit of the world, to
enjoy some top class entertainment, and above all else, meet many other people
sharing a similar interest. It’s also the perfect family holiday, with plenty
of fun activities for your partner and kids to get up to on board whilst you’re
attending conference sessions! – Chris
Paton, Scotland, 2nd, 4th and 8th cruise presenter
