PONANT has officially launched its 2026 Kimberley season, with travellers able to choose from 16 departures aboard luxury small expedition vessels Le Soléal or Le Jacques Cartier, with up to 30 per cent savings for early-bird bookings.
Guests will experience spectacular waterfalls, ancient First Nation rock art and cultures, breathtaking whale-watching, and thrilling mangrove Zodiac safaris, all guided by PONANT’s expert expedition leaders, before returning aboard to the relaxed luxury and French-style hospitality that is PONANT’s signature.
“The Kimberley is a place of profound beauty and ancient cultural heritage with great significance,” PONANT Asia Pacific CEO, Deb Corbett, said.
“Our Kimberley expeditions are crafted to not only bring our guests into the heart of this remarkable landscape but also support and engage with the local communities that call this region home. We are honoured to have been able to build and foster strong connections with First Nation communities, as well as making our visits a reciprocal experience that’s about connection and learning as much as it is about discovery and adventure.”
PONANT’s Kimberley expeditions are designed for those seeking an intimate and life-changing voyage. With smaller groups and personalised service, guests enjoy an elevated, bespoke experience as they explore this untouched coastline.
Guests are encouraged to book their voyage early to secure the best price with up to 30% savings off the brochure fare.
