    PONANT has launched its 2025 Kimberley season with 18 departures available to book between May and September 2025.

    PONANT has promised an added layer of enrichment with Le Jacques-Cartier returning to the region in 2025 for the second year after her inaugural season in the Kimberley in 2024, alongside renowned sistership Le Soléal sailing 10-night ‘Australia’s Iconic Kimberley’ itineraries between Broome and Darwin.

    Featuring a limited capacity of 132 staterooms and suites aboard Le Soléal and only 90 aboard Le Jacques Cartier, both vessels are designed to seamlessly explore the Kimberley coast.

    The 10-night itineraries offer an expert led and awe-inspiring immersion into the spectacular untouched landscapes and fascinating Indigenous culture that continues to this day.
