The all-inclusive, 17-night ‘Mystical Tropical Odyssey’ package offers early bird savings of nearly $4,000 per couple and a flight credit of $2,000 per couple for bookings made by January 12, 2026.

The itinerary features an expedition voyage from Bali to Darwin aboard Ponant’s 264-guest exploration ship, Le Soleal.

Boasting a refined and intimate, French-styled elegance, Le Soleal offers a fine dining restaurant and grill restaurant, panoramic lounge, theatre, library, open-air bar, pool, an expert expedition team and personalised service.

The adventure begins in Bali on June 12, 2027, with three nights in a luxury hotel. Guests then board Le Soleal for a 13-night journey to Darwin through Australia’s ‘backyard paradise’ in the sprawling archipelago of Indonesia.

Experience the famous dragons of Komodo Island, the coloured volcanic lakes of Flores, the jungle-capped karst islands of Triton Bay in Indonesia’s West Papua, the vibrant culture of East Timor and also Kitikiti Waterfall which spills into the sea amid scenery not unlike the jungles of a Tarzan movie.

The expedition also embraces the sandalwood, vanilla, almond and tamarind plantations of Alor Island and the Eden-like Kei Islands with their secluded, white beaches, azure seas and coral reefs.

The voyage offers abundant opportunities to visit traditional villages and swim, snorkel or dive in turquoise waters rich in marine life and coral.

The expedition cruise includes guided, complimentary excursions, onboard beverages and insights into the culture, history, flora and fauna of all destinations from an expert expedition team onboard.
