'Iconic Kimberley' - Le Soleal, Ponant - Oct 2023
Luxury Expedition Cruising with Ponant… what an absolute pleasure this trip was.
A voyage along one of the world’s most iconic coastlines – Australia’s Kimberley is home to some of the oldest natural wonders. A rugged landscape lined in places with epic sandstone cliffs, pristine mangroves & rainforest pockets.
Abundance wildlife in their natural habitat – crocodiles, dugongs, sharks, fish, turtles, birds, echidnas.
Meeting traditional owners, hearing stories & visiting sacred sites with incredible rock art was a highlight for me.
Understandably a ‘bucket list’ destination.
Travelling as a guest with Ponant was a delight. Exceptional naturalists leading expeditions on zodiacs & on foot and then offering informative talks in the theatre back onboard was amazing – I learnt so much & thoroughly enjoyed their energy & passion for this amazing destination.
Le Soleal is a beautiful small luxury ship – offering French hospitality & flair, the crew were fun, kind & professional. The food was wonderful!
Certainly, an absolute privilege to have been a guest on this sailing.
