Ponant Kimberley Cruising 2021
Spectacular 10 night expeditions - limited availability!
YOUR LAST CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE KIMBERLEY WITH PONANT IN 2021!
Set sail for the wild and grandiose landscapes of the Kimberley on a spectacular 10-night expedition between Darwin and Broome.
Your ship will take you close into this most spectacular coastline. With stunning falls, abrupt gorges, savannah, and calm waters, the wild lands of Kimberley promise an exceptional adventure.
Visit the picturesque Hunter River to see wild mangrove forests where saltwater crocodiles live along with many species of birds. A highpoint of this cruise will undoubtedly be the discovery of the King George River and the majestic Twin Falls, the highest single drop waterfall in Western Australia. You will also visit Collier Bay to admire a spectacular example of the impact of the tides cascading in mini-waterfalls as the entire Montgomery Reef appears to rise from the turquoise-blue waters of the bay.
Ponant will be operating two excellent expedition ships for the Kimberley season – most departures will be aboard Le Laperouse with a number of limited departures aboard Le Soléal. Onboard, enjoy all the traditional Ponant benefits: an outstanding modern ship, a range of facilities including swimming pool, spa, choice of restaurants and open bar. Whichever expedition you choose, you will experience the exceptional levels of comfort and service that are the very hallmark of Ponant.
