Audley Travel and Ponant partner to launch two new itineraries

Audley Travel has partnered with Ponant to launch two new bespoke itineraries.

 

The programmes, which are available from 2026, will combine “carefully curated” land and cruise elements across the US, Canada and Western Australia.

 

The USA’s Great Lakes with a Ponant cruise is a 15-day itinerary that includes an eight-night sailing. Highlights include visits to Chicago (pictured), Milwaukee and Toronto, as well as the chance to explore Mackinac Island and cruise along the Detroit River and the Parry Sound in Georgian Bay.

 

Prices start from £11,100 per person, based on two people travelling.

 

The second new addition is the 20-day Western Australia with a Ponant cruise itinerary. Clients will visit Rottnest Island and the Margaret River wine region, and cruise through a number of national and marine parks, including Jurien Bay, the Abrolhos Islands and the Montebello Islands.

 

The itinerary leads in at £14,920 per person, based on two sharing.

 

Clients booking a land and cruise trip with Audley can create their own bespoke “hybrid trip” to maximise their travel time and destination exploration.

 

The operator said its team will “apply their personalised approach to itinerary planning to all elements of the trip, from helping clients choose the right ship, stateroom or suite and onboard experiences, to expertly crafting bespoke landside activities and excursions.”
