Explore the Australian west coast during an all-new 11-day expedition cruise aboard Le Soléal. Immaculate beaches edged with turquoise waters, majestic landscapes designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, encounters with marine life and unearthing the mysterious history of the region… this unforgettable journey is sure to surprise you.

In the Murujuga National Park, on the Burrup Peninsula, you will marvel before the 40,000-year-old rock art (petroglyphs). Human figures, seabirds or extinct creatures cover the walls and provide a glimpse into the ancient world of Australia’s First Nations Peoples for a timeless moment of discovery.

A little further on, a Zodiac outing in the Montebello Islands marine park will also provide an opportunity to dive deeper into the history and wildlife of this region. You will then head for the Ningaloo Coast. You will be able to explore the sublime coral of these shores swimming and snorkeling.

Shark Bay, the next stage of your cruise, is one of the highlights of this odyssey. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its islands and lands enjoy exceptional natural characteristics.

Set sail for the Abrolhos Marine Park. The colourful coral reef and seabird breeding colonies make this a place like no other. Then you will finally arrive in the Jurien Bay Marine Park, the only major breeding area for Australian sea lions along the western coast of Australia. In this environment of islands and islets, you will discover rare wildlife in an idyllic setting.

Designed in 2013 and loyal to the PONANT spirit, Le Soléal like her sisterships embodies the subtle alliance between luxury, intimacy and wellbeing which is Ponant’s signature. The elegance of her exterior and interior lines and her intimate size (only 132 staterooms and suites)make this a rare and innovative yacht on the cruise market.

Interior Design:
With her fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white, Le Soléal presents references to a nautical theme.
