French small ship cruising and expedition specialist Ponant have taken their original sailing ship and reinvented her. Now a luxury yacht in the true sense of the word, this elegant vessel will be coming to Australia in 2023. Every passenger will feel pampered; with no more than 32 travellers, these exclusive adventures inspire and entice a lucky few. There are two regions to explore, The Kimberley and the islands to Australia’s North.

The details for these northern island explorations will be available shortly.

You will begin or end your Kimberley journey with the unique transfer on Paspaley’s flying boat the Grumman Mallard.

Choose from a wonderful Southern-bound to Broome, a North-bound itinerary to Darwin or the round trip to Rawley Shores.
Each journey is 9 or 10 nights long.

Alongside Le Ponant, this expedition company will be bringing a number of other small ships to Australia – these have a maximum of 200 passengers. The benefit of vessels this size is that you experience the destination in a unique way: you access less visited areas of the world and linger longer in your destinations.

Ponant have ships that are sailing in all regions of the world. Sail around the less-visited islands of the Mediterranean; experience the polar regions with an expedition to The Arctic, the Northwest Passage or Antarctica; explore the coastal regions of Central and South America; cross vast oceans calling into remote islands we only dream about; circumnavigate Tasmania or venture to the
sub-Antarctic islands south of New Zealand.

The expeditions are all inclusive, shore excursions and everything on board. With a touch of French flair, you are sure to enjoy the experience. The earlier you book with Ponant the better the deal, when they release their new itineraries, they offer a 30% early booking discount, as the sailing draws closer and the ship starts to fill the price only increases.

A good reason to commit early and secure the cabin of your dreams.

Join us to find out more about these lovely ships, especially the very delightful, newly launched Le Ponant and the wonderful Worldwide cruises that Ponant offer.
