Twice the size of Victoria, the ancient and remote Kimberley wilderness is best and most easily seen from small ships like Ponant’s exploration yachts which get close to spectacular waterfalls, indigenous rock art, abundant wildlife and majestic coastal cliffs that glow flame red at sunset.

Cruise Traveller’s package offers two free nights with breakfast in a Cable Beach hotel in Broome before the cruise. The 10-night expedition voyage from Broome to Darwin will showcase King George Falls, Mitchell Falls, Montgomery Reef, crocodile habitats and the world-renowned natural wonder of Horizontal Falls where the ocean surges at high tide through a narrow break in the cliffs.

The expedition through the Kimberley’s turquoise-blue waters will include guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and informative lectures onboard as well as the indulgence of a daily open bar onboard Le Soleal or Le Laperouse. With six sailing available in 2023, the ‘Kimberley Dreams’ package is available from A$10,550 per person, twin-share, in a Deluxe Balcony stateroom – a saving of A$4745 each.  In a Deluxe Suite, the package is available from A$16,800 per person, twin-share – a saving of A$7425 each. Solo travellers can also enjoy the bonus of no single supplement, with the package available from A$10,550 (subject to avail) – a big saving of $19, 425.  The discount and free hotel offer applies to bookings made by January 31, 2022.
