Ponant is a world leader in luxury expedition cruising, with ten modern small ships offering elegantly designed suites and cutting-edge technology. In Australia and New Zealand, Ponant cruises the Kimberley region in the dry season from April to September, before making its way to New Zealand for summer with options ranging from Milford Sound in Fiordland to the Sub-Antarctic Islands. Le Laperouse and Le Jacques Cartier are sister explorer ships favoured for these journeys, with their small size allowing access into less visited areas while respecting the unique environments. Onboard, guests enjoy a first-class service, with fine dining in the two restaurants plus 24-hour room service allowing guests to dine as they prefer. Ship amenities include a theatre, multiple bar and lounge areas, a pool with panoramic views and a wellness area including a sauna and gym. You'll also have the opportunity to access remote sites on board Ponant's fleet of Zodiacs led by a team of specialist guides.
