PONANT partnered with the world’s leading South Sea pearling company, PASPALEY, to introduce a 30-guest boutique expedition motor yacht, PASPALEY PEARL. This new boat will sail year-round to regions spanning the Kimberley, East Indonesia, Australia’s Far North and Papua New Guinea.
With a dedicated crew of 21, including four naturalist guides, this boat offers guests the rare chance to experience the hidden corners of the Asia Pacific region, including routes pioneered by Nicholas Paspaley AC and his crew in the 1970s. PASPALEY PEARL sets sail on its inaugural 10-night journey from East Timor to Bali in January 2025 following a multimillion-dollar refit.
The boat is the only boutique expedition yacht in the Kimberley with private balconies.
Highlights include Indonesia’s Raja Ampat and Spice Islands, as well as showcasing the Kimberley through a new lens with PASPALEY’s 80-plus-year heritage. Guests will witness the traditional buffalo races of Sumbawa Besar, experience the secret Duk-Duk society of the Tolai people and discover Sepik River culture in the village of Kopar.

If past trips to Iceland have focused on Reykjavik and nearby sites such as the steamy waters of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon, you may not be familiar with this iconic destination’s other hotel address: Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll, centrally located in an isolated mountain range in the country’s mountain region. It was named for a mythical giantess transformed to stone by the rays of the rising sun, and the resulting 82-foot pillar of volcanic rock still stands as both a reminder of the sun’s might and a powerful argument for sleeping late.
