10 nights · 18. August - 28. August 2027 · Broome → Darwin
Le Soléal returns for ten nights on the Kimberley classic between Broome and Darwin. The voyage links red sandstone walls, millennia-old rock art and one of the world's most extreme tidal areas. Zodiac tours into narrow river arms and optional helicopter flights to the Mitchell Falls structure the days. With just 184 guests on board, a marina platform and premium all-inclusive service, the format remains personal. The Ponant expedition team interprets geology, natural history and Aboriginal heritage.
