Ponant Explorations invites guests on an expedition of a lifetime aboard luxury small ships Le Soléal or Le Jacques Cartier, departing Darwin to Broome or in reverse, to explore one of the world's last great wildernesses — Australia's iconic Kimberley region.
With 14 departures in 2027, the Kimberley itineraries promise a deeply immersive experience in Western Australia's ruggedly beautiful landscapes. Guests will encounter spectacular waterfalls including the majestic King George Falls and Twin Falls, navigate the crocodile-lined mangroves of the Hunter River, witness the natural spectacle of Montgomery Reef rising from the tides, and explore the dramatic bays of Vansittart and Swift — all guided by Ponant Explorations expert expedition team.

Guests return each evening to the refined luxury and French-inspired hospitality that defines every Ponant voyage.
