Ponant’s latest, luxury exploration yacht, Le Bellot, will unveil the raw beauty of the Kimberley next year and to help Australians discover the rugged majesty of the remote region in refined comfort, small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, has released an exclusive package offering free flights and savings of up to $8500 per couple for bookings made by July 31, 2020.
A range of departures are available from April to September, 2021.
The new 11-night, all-inclusive ‘Kimberley Contrasts’ package features a 10-night expedition cruise from Darwin to Broome aboard Ponant’s brand new, ultra-luxe, 184-guest ship, Le Bellot. Named after a French 19th century polar explorer, the environmentally friendly ship boasts a fine dining restaurant, panoramic lounge, theatre, gym, sauna overlooking the sea, an expert expedition team, personalised service and a subtle blend of elegance, intimacy and comfort.
Twice the size of Victoria, the ancient and remote Kimberley wilderness is best and most easily seen from small ships like Ponant’s exploration yachts which get close to spectacular waterfalls, indigenous rock art, abundant wildlife and majestic coastal cliffs that glow flame red at sunset.
The package offers free return flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Darwin and return from Broome as well as one night’s accommodation in Darwin before the cruise. The 10-night expedition voyage from Darwin to Broome will showcase King George Falls, Mitchell Falls, Montgomery Reef, crocodile habitats and the world-renowned natural wonder of Horizontal Falls where the ocean surges at high tide through a narrow break in the cliffs.
The expedition through the Kimberley’s turquoise-blue waters will include guided, complimentary excursions on Zodiacs and informative lectures onboard, as well as a free wilderness adventure from Wyndham, with guests able to choose from a scenic flight over the famous Bungle Bungle ranges, a trip to the famous El Questro nature retreat or an Ord River wildlife cruise. The cruise also includes the indulgence of a daily open bar onboard Le Bellot.
The package is available from $11,940 per person, twin-share, in a Prestige Balcony stateroom on a sailing from Darwin to Broome on September 6, 2021 – a saving of $4255 each. Other sailings and discounted fares are also available from April to August, 2021. The discount and free return flights offered by Cruise Traveller apply to bookings made by July 31, 2020, subject to availability, or until sold out.
