Northern exposure

Ponant is set to take luxury expeditions at sea to another level in 2023, hosting its 32-guest, three-masted sailing yacht Le Ponant in Western Australia’s Kimberley for the season. Expect new bespoke itineraries, showcasing the immense beauty of the wild and wonderful region. To add to the dreamy experience, an exclusive and private scenic flight on-board one of Paspaley’s vintage Grumman Mallard flying boats will shuttle you to its pearl operations in Kuri Bay. Le Ponant will join the company’s two other small luxury expedition ships Le Lapérouse and Le Soléal, already present in the region, having restarted post-pandemic Kimberley operations in April 2022. au.ponant.com
