- Ponant has released its 2026 itineraries and guests can save up to 30 per cent
- There are no major changes to the 2025 itineraries
- Fly and stay packages are still available for 2026
Ponant has lifted the lid on its 2026 Kimberley season, with 16 different departures to pick from on Le Soleal and Le Jacques Cartier. Guests who book early can save up to 30% on these top-end itineraries.
Ponant Asia Pacific CEO, Deb Corbett, said: “The Kimberley is a place of profound beauty and ancient cultural heritage with great significance.
“Our Kimberley expeditions are crafted to not only bring our guests into the heart of this remarkable landscape but also support and engage with the local communities that call this region home.
“We are honoured to have been able to build and foster strong connections with First Nation communities, as well as making our visits a reciprocal experience that’s about connection and learning as much as it is about discovery and adventure.”
Ponant sailings are based around intimate service and ships designed for accessing difficult-to-reach areas and itineraries. During Kimberley itineraries guests will come across First Nation’s rock art, some of the Kimberley’s towering waterfalls, marine animal watching opportunities, zodiac-style excursions, and plenty more.
Guests will get the chance to listen to dreamtime stories from First Nation’s people, spot saltwater crocs, swim in coral reefs, and even take on more explorative excursions such as a helicopter ride to Mitchell Falls.
As well as 30% off for those who book ahead of time, Ponant is still offering its Fly, Stay & Cruise packages, which include a cruise, return flights, a night of pre-cruise accommodation, and all onboard amenities, wrapped into one all-inclusive package.
The voyages are generally identical to each other, with the main difference being the direction that goes choose to go, whether it’s from Broome to Darwin or Darwin to Broome. If guests are planning a longer pre and post-cruise stay in the region, it make sense to book your itinerary around which city or region of Australia you’d rather spend some extra time.
The 10-night sailings have just two days without a port, offering plenty of opportunities for exploration through the region.
