New Year savings of up to A$14,850 per couple, no single supplement and a free hotel stay are available on a series of luxury, all-inclusive expedition voyages through the wild Kimberley in 2023 for bookings made by January 31, 2022.

Australian small-ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, has released an exclusive, 12-night ‘Kimberley Celebration’ package with the luxury boutique cruise line, Ponant, which will showcase the rugged and remote majesty of the vast Kimberley wilderness.

Four sailings are available from June to September 2023.

The unique, new package features a 10-night expedition cruise from Darwin to Broome aboard Ponant’s 264-guest exploration ship, Le Soleal.  Boasting a refined and intimate, French-styled elegance, Le Soleal offers a fine dining restaurant and grill restaurant, panoramic lounge, theatre, library, open-air bar, pool, an expert expedition team and personalised service.

Le Soleal will take nature-passionate guests close to spectacular waterfalls, indigenous rock art, abundant wildlife and majestic coastal cliffs that flare flame-red at dusk.

Cruise Traveller’s package offers two free nights’ accommodation in Darwin before the cruise. The 10-night expedition voyage from Darwin to Broome includes spectacular sights such as King George Falls, Mitchell 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 immersive voyage includes guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and ashore as well as a free wilderness adventure from Wyndham, with guests able to choose from a scenic flight over the famous Bungle Bungle ranges, a trip to the famous El Questro nature retreat or an Ord River wildlife cruise. The cruise also includes the indulgence of a daily open bar onboard Le Soleal.

Departure dates in 2023 are June 17, July 7, August 16 and September 5.

The package is available from A$10,550 per person, twin-share, in a Deluxe Balcony stateroom – a saving of A$4745 each.  In a Deluxe Suite, the package is available from A$16,800 per person, twin-share – a saving of A$7425 each. Solo travellers can also enjoy the bonus of no single supplement, with the package also available from just $A10,550 – a significant saving of A$19,425.  The discount and free hotel stay offer to apply to bookings made by January 31, 2022. The package is subject to availability.
