Luxury fly/cruise/stay package in the Kimberley with Ponant

Save almost A$11,000 and less than half price for solos

Book by July 30, 2025

One of the last unspoilt regions on Earth is right here in Australia – the vast and wild expanse of the Kimberley.  The easiest way to see this remote place is by ship and one of the most stylish and comfortable ways to travel by ship in the Kimberley is with Ponant, whose ultra-luxe expeditions allow adventure-thirsty travellers to get up close and personal with the Kimberley’s spectacular gorges, thundering waterfalls and ancient rock art.

And the best way to book a Kimberley expedition with Ponant is with Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, who are experts in boutique journeys by sea.  Extensive savings of almost A$11,000 per couple and  less-than-half-fares for solos, plus free hotel nights, are available on a range of Ponant Kimberley cruises in 2026 for bookings made through Cruise Traveller before July 30, 2025.

Cruise Traveller has released an exclusive, 12-night ‘Kimberley Scenes and Darwin Scenes’ fly, cruise and stay package which features a 10-night, all-inclusive, ultra-luxe expedition cruise from Darwin to Broome aboard Ponant’s exploration ship, Le Jacques Cartier, or Le Soleal.  Four identical sailings are available from May to August, 2026. There is also some availability left on selected 2025 sailings.

The holiday package begins with a flight to Darwin from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, or Perth, and then includes two free nights’ accommodation in Darwin. Guests then board either the Le Jacques Cartier or Le Soleal for an in-depth, 10-night exploration of the Kimberley, including spectacular King George Falls, coral-filled Montgomery Reef, the turtle and bird nesting colonies of the Lacepede Islands and Horizontal Falls where the ocean surges through a narrow break in the cliffs.

The magnificent bays of Vansittart and Swift offer sweeping panoramas between islands, secret inlets, rugged cliffs, and rocky overhangs. In one of the region's most picturesque parts, the Hunter River, guests will see wild mangrove forests where saltwater crocodiles lurk.

The voyage includes guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and ashore, as well as onboard beverages. At the journey’s end in Broome, there’s an included flight back to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, or Perth.
