Ponant Cruises | Guadalcanal Island to Cairns

Ponant Cruises' La Laperouse cruise liner is sailing to Cairns on an 11-night cruise in 2024, exploring several islands along the way.

In the Solomon Islands, enjoy swimming and snorkelling on Njari Island, before you discover the picturesque atmosphere in the traditional markets on Ghizo Island. In the heart of the Solomon Sea, the uninhabited islands of the Lusancay archipelago have white-sand beaches and clear waters. Experience the extensive nature of Dobu Island and encounter the Dobu people, who are known for their magic rituals.

La Laperouse is an intimate ship with a capacity of 184 guests. Founded in 1988, Ponant Crusies was established by officers of the French Navy. With years of experience, Ponant Cruises will take you around Australia and to its neighbouring islands.

With a spa, theatre and underwater lounge, the ship has elements that no other cruise does. The hydraulic platform makes embarking and deparking easier, while offering the access to the ocean for swimming, kayaking and paddleboaring.

To eat, The Le Nautilus provides a buffet or hot meal services, while The Grill restaurant offers a range of quality meats, salads and desserts.

Sail under the French flag throughout 2024.
