10 nights · 16. June - 26. June 2027 · Darwin → Broome
This ten-night expedition aboard Le Jacques Cartier sets out from Darwin and works its way along the Kimberley coast to Broome. The 184-guest Ponant Explorer-class vessel deploys 16 Zodiacs for deep mangrove rivers, rock-art galleries and tidal wonders. The Blue Eye underwater lounge below the waterline and the marina round off the experience. Helideck readiness allows scenic flights to the Mitchell Falls and Horizontal Falls, both of which only reveal their full force from the air. Aboriginal rock art and European surveying history meet in unexpected places. Premium all-inclusive throughout.
