Last Call: Kimberley Cabins with Pearl Expeditions

Pearl Expeditions has announced the final remaining cabins for its 2026 Kimberley season, offering passengers the chance to join a voyage aboard the boutique expedition vessel Paspaley Pearl. With a maximum of 30 guests on board, each voyage becomes a bespoke, deeply immersive exploration, navigating remote waterways in one of the world’s last true frontiers.

The 2026 season spans April to September, coinciding with the Kimberley’s prime travel window, when 14‑metre tides, ancient sandstone formations, remote gorges and rich marine life are at their most dramatic. Pearl Expeditions’ limited availability remains during the Kimberley’s peak travel months and exists across three of their signature Kimberley itineraries:

“Demand for immersive, small-ship expedition cruising in the Kimberley remains incredibly strong, particularly as travellers look closer to home for unique, high-impact experiences,” said Pearl Expeditions head of commercial and product marketing, Julie Golding.

“We’re working closely with our trade partners to support that demand, and with limited availability remaining for the 2026 season, there is a timely opportunity for agents to secure cabins for their clients. With just 30 guests on board, and the added reassurance of no fuel surcharges across our sailings, our expeditions offer a seamless, high-value way to experience one of the world’s most extraordinary regions.”

Availability exists across August and September. Trade partners seeking to secure cabins or request current availability are encouraged to contact the Pearl Expeditions Concierge team, who can provide up-to-date inventory and support with allocations, rates and guest enquiries.

On this ten-night voyage between Broome and Kununurra, the Paspaley Pearl sails through geological wonders that reveal the Kimberley’s history and astounding beauty. Guests will witness Montgomery Reef (Yowjab) as the low tide creates cascading waterfalls, revealing the reef. This expedition also offers the chance to witness The Horizontal Falls (Garaan-ngaddim), where narrow gorges compress vast volumes of water into violent rapids with each tidal change. Onshore, explore sandstone shelters that preserve Gwion Gwion and Wandjina art and visit gorges where billion-year-old rock holds waterfalls, fishing grounds and mangrove systems patrolled by saltwater crocodiles.

This seven-night voyage from Broome concentrates the Kimberley’s most compelling experiences into one itinerary. The Paspaley Pearl navigates through the Buccaneer Archipelago’s 800 islands before reaching Collier Bay, where Montgomery Reef (Yowjab) and the Horizontal Falls (Garaan-ngaddim) reveal themselves. At Kuri Bay, guests access what few others can, with guided tours of the Paspaley pearling process, granted by the family to guests of Pearl Expeditions. This journey weaves together the Kimberley’s wild beauty and ancient landscapes in an expedition that feels as informative as it does unhurried.

Across five nights, this expedition from Broome to Broome reaches three remote atolls, rising from the Indian Ocean’s deep waters. Clerke, Mermaid, and Imperieuse Reefs offer some of the world’s most pristine reef systems with visibility often exceeding 60 meters. With limited annual access, this expedition offers rare opportunities for exceptional snorkelling and diving among flourishing coral gardens, tropical fish species and untouched underwater formations, where humpback whales migrate past, fish for coral trout, or visit seabird colonies thrive in.
