Captain Thomas McCandless of Ponant’s Le Laperouse tells On Board's Rosie Kelly about cruising the Kimberley, a rescue drama, and sailing the Med, his home. Ponant's small yachts, with under 200 passengers, are perfect for dodging the crowds and taking in the best of this Australian favourite destination. 

Captain Thomas gives his picks, including those around his hometown of Marseille. He also talks about the French feasts produced by chefs from the line's gastronomic partnership program. Ponant is offering 25% off sailings and great air deals.
