L'Austral

L’Austral is a fashionable mega-yacht designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel. The ship blends an exclusive atmosphere, intimacy and a touch of luxury. Because L’Austral is small, it can access destinations that many other ships can’t. This allows for Ponant to create unique itineraries for each cruise. The distinctive shape of the ship is from many little details coming together, from its precious materials to its traditional yet innovative design and discreet elegance. The interior is covered in gray, taupe, white and ivory with little touches of cinnamon and caramel. Passengers travelling in one of the suites on Deck 6 will experience a butler service offering a tailor-made cruise in every sense of the word for total peace of mind. Each Butler provides a privileged point of contact who responds to every whim quickly and efficiently. Personalized service, gastronomic excellence and plenty of entertainment options come together to form the chic yet casual ambiance that will have you craving more.
