APT just announced a partnership with ultra-luxury expedition company Seabourn and will charter two ships in 2025, visiting a number of destinations including the Kimberley. Bookings are open for cruises departing between May and August 2025. The Kimberley is where the red dirt of the desert clashes with the vivid turquoise of the ocean.
