10 nights · 26. June - 6. July 2027 · Broome → Darwin
Ten nights aboard Le Jacques Cartier from Broome to Darwin, right through the red sandstone world of the Kimberley. The 184-guest Ponant Explorer-class vessel carries 16 Zodiacs, a helideck and the Blue Eye underwater lounge, and all three tools play to their full strengths here. The marina opens to the turquoise water whenever crocodile presence and tide allow. Helicopter options over the Mitchell Falls and the Horizontal Falls of Talbot Bay show the region from above. Aboriginal rock art and European surveying history meet in close quarters. Premium all-inclusive throughout.
