Second Ponant ships begins Kimberley cruises
Following PONANT’s Kimberley expedition season start in April 2022, the line announced the arrival of small expedition ship Le Soleal into Darwin, NT.
Le Soléal will be PONANT’s second small expedition ship positioned in the Asia Pacific region this year, joining Le Laperouse, which returned to Australian waters last month,.
Le Soléal began her inaugural 2022 Kimberley expedition out of Darwin to Broome at the weekend and will operate multiple departures of the 10-night ‘Australia’s Iconic Kimberley’ luxury expedition itinerary until September 2022.
Sarina Bratton AM Chairman for PONANT Asia Pacific said: “With the successful resumption of expedition sailing, the demand for the Kimberley is stronger than ever.”
Following the Kimberley program, Le Soleal will feature expeditions in New Zealand, including the Sub-Antarctic islands and Australia’s Macquarie Island, the Ross Sea, Melanesia, New Zealand, and Japan’s subtropical islands in early 2023.
