10 nights · 6. July - 16. July 2027 · Darwin → Broome
Ten nights from Darwin to Broome aboard Le Jacques Cartier through the Kimberley wilderness. The 184-guest Ponant Explorer-class vessel, with 16 Zodiacs and a helideck, is tailored to this region precisely because it is barely accessible by land. The Blue Eye underwater lounge brings the reef on board by evening. Tidal ranges of more than ten metres reshape the landscape each day, from reef cascades to saltwater falls. Wandjina and Gwion-Gwion rock-art galleries rank among the oldest pictorial cultures known. Premium all-inclusive throughout.
