Ponant Explorations officially launched sales for its highly anticipated 2027 Kimberley season today, 14th July.
Sales opened with seven departures between May and August 2027 aboard the modern and purpose-built small expedition ships Le Jacques-Cartier and Le Soléal.
Thanks to Ponant’s continued focus on intimate, exploration-led experiences, the 2027 season promises iconic adventures through one of Australia’s most remote and striking landscapes.
Ponant Explorations Chief Executive for the Asia Pacific, Deb Corbett, remarked: “Our Kimberley expeditions continue to resonate with modern travellers looking for depth, discovery and connection, with small ship access, expert guides and a spirit of curiosity at the heart of each itinerary. This region delivers time and time again and we are proud to offer our best value for early bookings whether guests are travelling solo or sharing the experience with others.”
Where natural wonders meet the spirit of adventure
Sailing between Broome and Darwin, the itineraries are designed for inquisitive travellers who seek enriching encounters with nature, wildlife, and Indigenous culture. Each expedition includes daily expert-led shore excursions and onboard lectures hosted by industry-leading scientists, naturalists or historians, offering unrivalled access to the region’s ancient history and delivered in signature small-ship French-inspired comfort. To celebrate the launch, Ponant Explorations offers travellers the best value guaranteed for early bookings, with up to 30% Ponant Bonus savings off the brochure fare. In addition, a Free Solo Supplement is available on five select departures; it’s a deal that is perfect for solo travellers or friends travelling together who each wish to enjoy the privacy of their own stateroom without the additional cost of a double occupancy. The offer also supports the company’s ongoing commitment to making luxury expedition travel more accessible and enjoyable for all travellers, whether exploring independently or as part of a group.
