    L'Austral

    French charm, luxury, cosiness and feel-good ambience in the world of the polar regions.

    L'Austral has been sailing the world's oceans since 2011 as one of four Ponant sister ships. French charm and a unique style awaits you on board. The designs and decorations give the ship a wonderful on-board atmosphere with the character and chic of casualness.

    The 132 cabins and suites spread over 4 different decks offer a combination of luxury, coziness and feel-good ambience. From each cabin you have an unobstructed view of the sea to dive into the unique nature. You can relax in the wellness area, in the fitness or hammam, in the spa, or in the hairdresser's salon - the offer to be spoiled is large. Give it a try.

    The common rooms are comfortably and ingeniously furnished, so you have room for relaxation and conviviality.

    There is a main salon, a theater and a leisure area where you can pass the time on board and exchange experiences with the other passengers. On some evenings there is live entertainment with dance or music in the auditorium. A panoramic lounge with library and bar is always at your disposal. Here you can let the evenings fade away and still have a view of the wonderful nature. An outdoor bar with a view of the pool deck completes your stay on L'Austral.
