| Ponant adds nine more

PONANT has announced its “commitment-free” registration for nine new Australia and New Zealand luxury expeditions is now available.

Guests can register expressions of interest before itinerary details are finalised and sales are opened later this month.

The range of nine new small-ship itineraries has been developed by Ponant’s Australia and New Zealand expedition specialists, and have been designed to introduce guests to rarely visited regions in New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands, Tasmania, Western Australia (pictured) and more.

Highlights include the Antipodes Islands, Macquarie Island, Ningaloo Reef, Rowley Shoals, and food & wine destinations such as King Island and the Tamar Valley.

“Interested parties can register now – no deposit is required, and you can always opt out with no penalty,” said General Manager Sales & Marketing Asia Pacific Deb Corbett.

“Pre-registration means you will be one of the first in line when sales officially open towards the end of Jan.

“Our consultants will then be in touch with more details, including voyage pricing, to discuss if you would like to proceed.”

Some of the nine itineraries include the 10-night Jewels of the West Coast Broome to Fremantle cruise departing 22 Sep and the eight-night Highlands of South Western Australia journey return from Fremantle departing 02 Oct.
