Compelling reasons to visit the Kimberley with PONANT, world leader of luxury expedition cruising.
Explore one of the oldest of regions on earth aboard one of the newest of ships.
Act quickly to secure one of the final staterooms available on a PONANT Kimberley voyage and enjoy an immersive expedition from onboard Le Lapérouse - the youngest and most environmentally sustainable vessel in the Kimberley.
Harsh yet magnificent. Seemingly uninhabitable, yet inhabited for perhaps 40,000 years. You will return home with multiple memories and photos of vertiginous waterfalls, towering sandstone walls, horizons of intense blue sky and contrasting mauve peach sunsets. Exploring with the expedition team in Zodiacs, watch for a slight disturbance in the mangroves - home to the world’s largest living reptile, the saltwater crocodile.
Marvel at extraordinary tidal movements and view truly ancient Gwion Gwion Aboriginal rock art galleries. These intricate and complex depictions of the human form may be more than 5 times older than Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
Optional excursions include helicopter flights up to the Mitchell Falls and plateau, an exclusive scenic flight in a vintage Paspaley Grumman Mallard and a fast boat ride through the Horizontal Falls!
2019 is the inaugural Kimberley season for the first of six new Explorer class ships entering the PONANT fleet, Le Lapérouse providing the benefits of visiting this pristine wilderness onboard the most eco-sensitive of vessels in the region.
“Le Lapérouse offers all the accoutrements of luxury travel and amenities - including an infinity-edge pool and sea view spa - however its compact size, with just 92 staterooms and suites, all with balconies, allows for the personalised style of service PONANT is known for. Importantly, smaller size provides access to remote parts of the world where large ships simply cannot contemplate venturing” says Monique Ponfoort, Vice President PONANT Asia Pacific.

Additional information
The Kimberley coastline extends over 12,000 kilometres and contains more than 2,500 islands. On board, the luxury expedition small ship Le Lapérouse experience all the coast has to offer in extreme comfort with a highly attentive crew to look after you.
With every stateroom on Le Lapérouse featuring a private balcony, this is a very civilised way to explore a remarkably remote destination, imbued with PONANT’s trademark dash of panache.
Launched in July 2018, Le Lapérouse is now positioned in Australian, Melanesian and New Zealand waters as part of its inaugural season of voyages in 2019, returning again in 2020.
With 30 years of expedition voyage experience, PONANT’s purpose-built luxury expedition ships bring the same high operational standards to the Kimberley operated in the Arctic and Antarctica – the only ships to do so and reflective of
PONANT’s position as the world leader in luxury expeditions.
In addition to visiting areas with high concentrations of saltwater crocodiles, the voyages coincide with prime time for observing the largest population of migrating Humpback whales in the world - estimated to be over 36,000 individuals or more - and with a compact ship and 10 Zodiacs this is potentially another exciting experience.
PONANT’s itineraries include classic must-see Kimberley highlights - the Hunter River, King George Falls, Mitchell Falls, Montgomery Reef and Horizontal Falls, as well as a number of rarely visited other destinations.
