The 2026 Kimberley itineraries promise an immersive experience in Western Australia’s ruggedly beautiful landscapes.

“The Kimberley is a place of profound beauty and ancient cultural heritage with great significance,” says Deb Corbett, CEO of Ponant Asia Pacific.

“Our Kimberley expeditions are crafted to not only bring our guests into the heart of this remarkable landscape, but also support and engage with the local communities that call this region home.
“We’re honoured to have been able to build and foster strong connections with First Nation communities, as well as making our visits a reciprocal experience that’s about connection and learning as much as it is about discovery and adventure,” Deb concludes.
Ponant’s Kimberley expeditions are designed for those seeking an intimate and life-changing voyage. With smaller groups and personalised service, guests enjoy an elevated, bespoke experience as they explore this untouched coastline.
