They are available to book now and include return flights from all major Australian and New Zealand cities, transfers, one night’s pre-cruise accommodation and a 10-night voyage between Broome and Darwin in the 184-passenger Le Jacques-Cartier or the 264-passenger Le Soléal.

There are eight sailings from Broome to Darwin and eight Darwin to Broome departures.

New roundtrips

There are also two new roundtrips from Darwin departing July 22 and August 12, with a free solo supplement, depending on availability and stateroom category.

Both ships are able to navigate shallow waters, providing passengers with up-close views of the Kimberley landscape.

All-inclusive

Zodiac outings and shore excursions are included, with lectures by Ponant’s expedition leaders, and there is an open bar on board.

‘We are incredibly excited to introduce our fly, stay & cruise packages for our guests,’ Ponant CEO Asia Pacific Deb Corbett said.

‘Not only will this eliminate the complexities of planning, but it is very cost-effective, making clients’ experiences in the region more accessible than ever,’ she added.
