Two PONANT state managers hosted two ship inspections of PONANT Explorer, Le Laperouse and sistership Le Soleal in Cairns over two weekends as a part of a new “micro famil” initiative.

Hosted by state managers Annabelle Brown (Victoria & Tasmania) and Janelle Ramsey (Queensland & Northern Territory), guests included a select group of Victorian trade partners, and valued clients of Endeavour Travel & Cruise of Far North Queensland.

The event took place on Le Laperouse on Saturday 9 November and Le Soleal on 16 November.  

The concept allowed agents and guests to join the Cairns partners, enjoying a ship inspection, dinner and an overnight stay.

The event fostered valuable connections and provided inter-state partners and clients with firsthand insights into the offerings available in Cairns for both pre and post voyage packages and aboard.
