L'Austral
Innovative design, slender silhouette, exquisite interiors, warm and intimate atmosphere: French designers have given this ship a unique style with a clear signature. Combinations of noble materials, harmonious colors underlined by bright accents, dignified lines, subtle and discreet refinement: Everything has been thought of here to create a unique on-board atmosphere with the character, chic and informality of a real private yacht.
Le Boréal
Like her sister ships Austral, Soléal and Lyrial, the Boréal embodies the unique atmosphere of the PONANT fleet. This ship subtly combines luxury, comfort and a feel-good ambience. It has been designed to allow passengers to socialize as well as offer spaces that invite them to relax and unwind. Its design, both inside and out, reflects the ingenuity and sophistication with which the sisterships were designed.
Le Soléal
Like Le Boréal and L\'Austral, the two previous sisterships, Le Soléal bears the signature of PONANT: passengers travel to the remotest ends of the world on board 5-star ships with first-class service. Elegant looks and sophisticated interior design combine with state-of-the-art technologies to create a new style of cruising: adventure in a luxurious ambience.
Le Lyrial
Le Lyrial, which set sail in 2015 as the fourth ship in the Sisterships series, is the epitome of this new generation of cruise ships. Its interior and exterior lines, with their sobriety and sophistication, make this ship an exceptional and innovative yacht.
For the interior design, Ponant was inspired by the colors of its destinations and developed a palette around blue. The shades range from the gray and light tones of polar ice to the vibrant and turquoise notes of Mediterranean bays.
