PONANT Cruises, the world leader in luxury expeditions, has launched its brand-new Fly, Stay & Cruise packages for the 2025 Kimberley season. The package, now available for booking, promises an all-inclusive, hassle-free travel experience that brings the stunning landscapes of the Kimberley closer than ever.
What’s Included?
The package includes return flights from all major Australian and New Zealand cities, airport and hotel transfers, one-night pre-cruise accommodation, and a 10-night luxury expedition. The expedition includes all Zodiac outings, shore excursions, meals, an open bar, onboard lectures, and educative talks.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce our Fly, Stay, and Cruise package for our guests,” said Deb Corbett, PONANT CEO Asia Pacific. 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.”
Discover the Kimberley
The 2025 Kimberley season allows guests to discover iconic sites such as King George Falls, the sacred First Nation Wandjina rock art site on Jar Island, and more. PONANT’s luxury small ships, with a capacity of up to 184 guests (Le Jacques-Cartier) and 264 guests (Le Soléal), offer bespoke voyages for each guest with close access to the Kimberley’s landscapes.
Special Offer for Solo Travellers
PONANT also offers guests a free solo supplement designed for solo travellers or individuals travelling as a group. “Our free solo supplement has become extremely popular amongst Australian and New Zealand travellers looking at travelling with a group of friends without sacrificing the comfort and privacy of their own cabins!” said Deb Corbett. “We encourage travellers to jump on these as soon as possible as they don’t last long!”
