Itinerary (20 days)

Days 1–3 Luxembourg & Perth

Travel via Paris, then fly nonstop with Qantas to Perth. Two nights at the five-star Crown Towers Perth give you time to settle in beside the Swan River. Spend your free day exploring this sunny Western Australian city at your own pace.

Day 4 Perth & Le Soléal

A panoramic tour introduces you to the city before you head to Kings Park for sweeping views of the Swan River. Continue to Fremantle and board Le Soléal, the PONANT ship that will be your home for the days ahead.

Days 5–8 The wild west coast

Your adventure at sea begins at Jurien Bay, with its long beaches and abundant marine life. The route continues to the Abrolhos Islands and Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At Cape Peron, red-hued land meets the deep blue of the Indian Ocean in a striking contrast.

Days 9–13 Ningaloo Reef & remote regions

Two days are devoted to the Ningaloo Reef region and its extraordinary biodiversity. Le Soléal then sets course for the uninhabited Montebello Islands, followed by Murujuga on the Burrup Peninsula. Millennia-old rock engravings bear witness to the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal peoples before the voyage continues to Broome.

Days 14–16 Broome & Cable Beach

After disembarking, spend two nights in Broome, soaking up the tropical atmosphere and history of this former pearling town. At the famous Cable Beach, the setting sun casts a warm glow over an immense stretch of white sand. You then fly back to Perth.

Days 17–20 Rottnest Island & return

The final days bring you back to the Perth area. An excursion takes you to Rottnest Island, known for its beautiful bays and famous quokkas. A free day leaves time for discoveries of your own before your Qantas flight to Paris and onward journey to Luxembourg.

We recommend:

PONANT – French elegance at sea

PONANT combines the comfort of elegant, smaller ships with an intimate atmosphere and French art de vivre. Their compact size allows them to call at lesser-known ports and reach exceptional destinations beyond traditional cruise routes.
