Why we loved our Luxury Kimberley Cruise on Le Jacques-Cartier...
"... experienced onboard Naturalists provide wonderful insights into the Kimberley..."

You will be blown away by the magnificent facilities of Le Jacques-Cartier on your Kimberley cruise. You can indulge in a spa in the wellness area, the theatre or the panoramic bar on Deck 6 which has a library, internet space, bar and live entertainment on certain evenings.
One of the experienced onboard Naturalists will always be with you on excursions to guide and explain to you the extraordinary sights such as the King George Falls, Montgomery Reef and the Horizontal Falls. Their knowledge and experience provided wonderful insights into not just the natural attractions but also the flora, fauna and geology of the Kimberley.
Ponant also adds those special bonus touring options with a Bungle Bungle scenic flight, Ord River Cruise or El Questro Tour. What a great way to spend 10 glorious nights cruising the Kimberley, thanks Ponant!
