PONANT EXPLORATIONS’ Fly, Stay & Cruise package for the 2026 Kimberley season is now available for booking offering a “seamless” way to discover the region’s rugged beauty.
Under the offer, each booking of the cruise line’s Kimberly small ship cruise program is packaged with return economy flights from Australia and New Zealand’s major cities, premium accommodation with transfer until 30 September 2025.
The Kimberley 2026 season features 16 departures of the 10-night Iconic Kimberley itinerary between May and September aboard Le Jacques-Cartier and sister ship Le Soléal as they sail between Broome and Darwin.
“The Kimberley region is unlike anywhere else on Earth,” said Deb Corbett, CEO Asia Pacific. “Given its remote location, we understand that arranging travel can feel complex – which is why we’re thrilled to offer a seamless, all-inclusive package that removes the hassle and lets guests focus on the experience.
“From flights and hotel stays to an extraordinary small-ship expedition, every element is effortlessly connected. We want our guests to arrive relaxed, and ready to be immersed in the rich culture and history this remarkable region has to offer. It’s luxury without complication.” PONANT is also extending the package deal to two West Coast departures added to its program in July and August 2026, in addition to the Kimberley program. Entitled West Coast Odyssey, the 10-night expedition voyage between Broome and Fremantle will take guests to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay as well as a number of marine parks including Jurien Bay Marine Park, Abrolhos Marine Park, Montebello Islands Marine Park, and Murujuga National Park on the Burrup Peninsula. Priced from $13, 670 per person in a deluxe stateroom with private balcony, the Fly, Stay & Cruise package includes: return economy airfares from Australia and New Zealand major cities; one-night hotel stay & transfer – before or after the sailing; a 10-night Australia’s Iconic Kimberley or the 10-night West Coast Odyssey luxury expedition; daily expert-led shore excursions, lectures and Zodiac outings; and all onboard meals, drinks including 24/7 room service and mini bar restocked daily.
