PONANT CRUISE<br />
Why cruise in Australia’s Kimberley<br />
region?<br />
The Kimberley, found along Australia’s<br />
north-western coastline, provides an<br />
amazing opportunity to see scenery<br />
unlike anywhere else in the world.<br />
Ancient geology shapes the coastline,<br />
home to indigenous rock art said to<br />
be older than the Egyptian hieroglyphs.<br />
The world’s largest tidal changes, up to<br />
14m, create phenomena only observed<br />
from the sea. Plus a healthy population<br />
of 50,000 breeding humpback whales<br />
reside in the area from June to August,<br />
ensuring unbeatable excitement found<br />
on the outer decks.<br />
And why cruise the Kimberley with<br />
PONANT in particular?<br />
PONANT is regarded as the world’s<br />
leader in luxury expeditions, with<br />
two boutique ‘Explorer’ ships calling<br />
the Kimberley home from April to<br />
September each year, carrying no<br />
more than 180 guests.<br />
Their small ships navigate the coast<br />
at close proximity, then a large fleet of<br />
zodiac dinghies captained by industryleading<br />
expedition guides ensure your<br />
experience in this breathtaking region<br />
is maximised.<br />
No need to open your wallet once<br />
on board, with open bar (including<br />
French champagne!), all meals, wi-fi and<br />
excursions included.<br />
We can even score you up to a<br />
25 percent early booking bonus, plus a<br />
AU$400 welcome offer when booking<br />
for 2024. Be quick, as this amazing<br />
destination is selling fast!<br />
What are the hot destinations and<br />
ways to travel for 2024?<br />
Portugal is definitely an upcoming<br />
destination and offers some of the best<br />
bang for buck. Family trips to Bali are<br />
super popular – book early! Australia<br />
offers great value as fares have reduced<br />
back. The Ghan train, and luxury<br />
