Extensive savings of more than A$12,000 per couple and two free nights’ accommodation are available on a luxury expedition package with Ponant in 2025 that explores the wild and ancient scenery of the Kimberley.
Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, is offering the exclusive, 13-night ‘Course for the Kimberley’ fly, cruise and stay package which features a 10-night, all-inclusive, ultra-luxe expedition cruise from Broome to Darwin aboard Ponant’s 184-guest exploration ship, Le Jacques Cartier. Three sailings are available from July to September, 2025.
Launched in 2020 and named after a 16th Century French maritime explorer, the sleek and stylish Le Jacques Cartier boasts a refined and intimate, French-styled elegance, fine dining restaurants, plush lounges, theatre, spectacular infinity pool, an expert expedition team and personalised service. All staterooms offer a private balcony or terrace.
The holiday package begins with a flight to Broome from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth and then three nights’ accommodation in Broome, with two nights being free. Guests then board Le Jacques Cartier for an in-depth, 10-night exploration of the Kimberley’s spectacular gorges, thundering waterfalls and age-old rock art. The journey will take adventure seekers to spectacular King George Falls, coral-filled Montgomery Reef, the turtle and bird nesting colonies of the Lacepede Islands and Horizontal Falls where the ocean surges through a narrow break in the cliffs.
The voyage includes guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and ashore. The cruise also includes the luxury of a daily open bar onboard Le Jacques Cartier. At journey’s end in Darwin, guests will be flown back to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth.
