PASPALEY PEARL by PONANT has released its inaugural digital brochure, detailing the transformative experiences curated for the 30-guest expedition yacht. Commencing operations in January 2025 the new boutique yacht will feature a new immersive level of expeditions when operating through East Indonesia, The Kimberley and Papua New Guinea.

Abercrombie & Kent has unveiled a new luxury small-ship experience through East Indonesia’s Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands, chartering Aqua Expeditions’ Aqua Blu for the 14-day journey. The one-off itinerary will be escorted by A&K Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Geoffrey Kent.

This past week, a group of Australian luxury cruise specialists have been engulfed in the industry’s newest expedition cruise vessel, Seabourn Pursuit, as the ship makes its way down under to the Kimberley for the first time.

Seabourn has only scratched the surface of what can potentially be unlocked through luxury expedition cruising, says Steve Smotrys, Vice President of Global Sales for the ultra-luxury cruise line.

Start-up small group, experiential tour operator Arcadia Expeditions had pushed back the launch of its maiden season by around six months as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Australia’s “First Lady” of cruising, Sarina Bratton, will be the dignitary joining Ponant’s “Chairman’s Cruise” to Papua New Guinea in the first half of 2020.

Coral Expeditions and the Australian Geographic have joined forces in a new partnership, uniting a shared heritage of exploration and conservation of the coastlines around Australia. The venture will allow for a deeper level of guest immersion on board the Coral Expeditions fleet.

Australian cruise line Coral Expeditions is heightening expectations for its new expedition cruise vessel, Coral Adventurer, announcing new details of the maiden 2019/2020 season, set to commence on 22 April 2019.
