Remote, rugged and ravishing – the wild, pristine Kimberley region is one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet with just 40,000 people across an area three times the size of England. And to help more Australians explore this ancient, Jurassic landscape on luxury sea expeditions in 2024, Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, is offering included flights and savings of A$12,720 per couple, and almost half price for solo travellers – for earlybird bookings made by January 31, 2024.
The exclusive, all-inclusive Kimberely packages promise to showcase the Kimberley’s thundering waterfalls, towering, burnt orange clifflines, primordial wildlife, sacred rock art and abundant wildlife, with guests set to sail aboard Ponant’s boutique exploration ship, Le Laperouse, which offers up-close-and-personal encounters with the spectacular scenery.
With demand for Kimberley expedition cruises surging, early bookings are recommended, especially for solo reservations, according to Cruise Traveller, which specialises in the region.
Cruise Traveller’s new and unique, 12-night ‘Kimberley Kaleidoscope’ fly, cruise and stay package features a 10-night luxury expedition cruise from Darwin to Broome aboard Ponant’s 184-guest exploration ship, Le Laperouse. The sleek and stylish ship boasts a refined and intimate, yacht-like elegance, fine dining restaurants, plush lounges, theatre, pool, an expert expedition team and personalised service. All staterooms offer a private balcony or terrace.
Le Laperouse will take adventure seekers on a memorable, luxe-filled journey to the Kimberley, with the 10-night expedition voyage from Darwin to Broome featuring stunning sights such as King George Falls, Montgomery Reef, crocodile habitats and the famous phenomenon of Horizontal Falls where the ocean surges at high tide through a narrow break in the cliffs.
The package includes two nights’ accommodation in Darwin before the cruise and a flight to Darwin and back from Broome ex Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth.
The immersive voyage includes guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and ashore. The cruise also includes the indulgence of a daily open bar onboard Le Laperouse.
