L'Austral

In may 2011, L'Austral joined Ponant's fleet. Her sleek silhouette softened by elegantly smooth contours and large, arched windows opening up to the sea and the light, are only but a few of the many features that came together to give L'Austral her distinctive shape. Precious materials, discreet elegance and a perfect balance between chic and casual, combine to make you feel as if you are on your own private yacht.

Everything has been done to preserve the independence of each guest to suit their personal tastes: lounges for lectures and shows, a spa in partnership with Sothys™, but also more intimate spaces such as the library and internet corner.

Comfortable cabins, nearly all with private balcony, are available for families either as triples or as connecting cabins. There is also a games area with Wii consoles, children's menus, and a baby-sitting service. Just as if you were on a private yacht, your time is your own to do as you please.

You will encounter unique itineraries, ports of call inaccessible to large ships, a chic and elegant yacht-like ambiance, reffined and personnalized service as well as exceptional dining.

Embark on a journey on Compagnie du Ponant's newest ship, L'Austral as she sails to alluring ports.
