An Intimate Arctic-Inspired Dinner with Ponant Exploration at Supernormal, Brisbane
19th November 2025
The Luxury Network Australia recently hosted a superb evening in partnership with esteemed member Ponant Explorations, gathering guests at the contemporary culinary institution Supernormal Brisbane for a night of exceptional dining, storytelling, and connection. From the moment guests arrived, glasses of Bollinger Champagne set a celebratory tone, paired perfectly with Supernormal’s iconic seafood-driven menu.
The culinary experience highlighted the restaurant’s signature flavours, with favourites such as the famed lobster rolls and delicate Moreton Bay bug dishes making their way around the room. Each plate reflected Supernormal’s talent for balancing refined technique with bold, clean flavours—an elegant backdrop for the evening’s centrepiece presentation.
The highlight of the night was an immersive presentation by Annabelle from Ponant Explorations, who captivated the room with her first-hand account of her recent expedition to the Arctic. Guests were transported through icy horizons and remote polar landscapes as she shared stories of wildlife encounters, extraordinary moments aboard Le Commandant Charcot, and the profound sense of wonder that only an expedition voyage can deliver. Her insights offered a rare, intimate glimpse into the world of luxury exploration, inspiring many in the room to consider their own polar journey.
As conversations flowed and guests mingled, the event demonstrated the power of bringing like-minded members together in a warm, elegant setting. With world-class Champagne, incredible seafood, and the magic of polar storytelling, the evening truly showcased the richness of experiences The Luxury Network Australia continues to curate.
A heartfelt thank you to Ponant Explorations, Supernormal, and all who joined us for a memorable night celebrating adventure, luxury, and community.
