Pearl Expeditions has launched its new website, a comprehensive overview of expedition voyages providing details of the 2025 and 2026 Calendar of Expeditions, and an in-depth view of the elegant 30 guest Paspaley Pearl motor yacht.

Advisors have a chance to be rewarded with Paspaley pearl jewellery for bookings of boutique expedition cruise newcomer Pearl Expeditions, in a new incentive to mark the start of operations.

In her latest return to the luxury expedition space with the launch of Pearl Expeditions, Sarina Bratton and her team are rewriting the rules, steering away from mainstream models that dominate the sector with a focus on boutique experiences and a refusal to discount.

Sarina Bratton AM has hailed the launch of Australia-owned boutique adventure brand Pearl Expeditions as her “career highlight” as she introduced members of the trade and media to the company’s new brand identity and Paspaley Pearl’s range of itineraries.

Paspaley Pearl has been handed over to Pearl Expeditions’ Executive Chair Sarina Bratton in Singapore, with the vessel now making its way to its new home in Darwin, Australia.

Pearl Expeditions, the operator of the soon-to-launch boutique motor yacht, Paspaley Pearl, has unveiled its initial Calendar of Expeditions, providing insight on the 25 expedition itineraries and pricing, for voyages commencing in late July 2025 through to April 2026.

Pearl Expeditions, the venture between the Paspaley family and Australian cruising doyenne, Sarina Bratton AM, has appointed Mick Fogg as General Manager and Head of Sustainability for the operation.

Australia-based luxury hotel, resort and DMC representation firm, La Collection, has signed its first cruise partner with the newly-established expedition brand, Pearl Expeditions.

Sarina Bratton AM’s “passion project” of the past few years, the luxury motor yacht PASPALEY PEARL, will now launch independently in July 2025. The refitted vessel will commence service in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

After nearly a decade as Chairman Asia Pacific and recently serving as Strategic Advisor to Ponant’s Global CEO, Sarina Bratton AM recently concluded her official capacity with the luxury French expedition cruise line, PONANT.

PONANT has confirmed its project with Paspaley Group to operate the luxury motor yacht PASPALEY PEARL, is no longer proceeding, LATTE can reveal.

PASPALEY PEARL has successfully completed her sea trials off Fremantle in Western Australia, marking a significant milestone ahead of the boutique expedition yacht’s upcoming multi-million-dollar refurbishment.
