Discover the incomparable islands of French Polynesia, considered some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Cradled by stunning lagoons and translucent waters containing exceptional coral reefs, the Polynesian scenery invites you to dream: be it in Bora Bora, a testament of "Paradise on earth" or in Moorea, a coral island with lush vegetation, this is classic South Sea Island scenery.

Snorkel in these natural aquaria where colourful fish, rays and friendly sharks can be found playing amid the reefs.

Luxury Small Ship
A sleek silhouette, a welcoming intimate atmosphere, and the same philosophy that has made her sister ships, L'Austral, Lyrial and Le Boreal, such a success.

This magnificent yacht of only 132 staterooms and suites, all with balconies, has contemporary decor inspired by the luxury yachting world, with fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white. White Corian counters in the lobby contrast with the warmth of leather to recall a boat's hull, while the central scuplture of enamelled pieces takes its inspiration from the sea.  In the lounge bar, the carpet picks up a tennis stripe theme symbolising a certain idea of cruising, one synonomous with French elegance and a chic seaside spirit.

Wheelchairs
3 specially adapted wheelchair cabins (Deck 3 = Superior cabin no. 307, no balcony, Deck 4 = Prestige Cabin no. 407 - with balcony and Deck 5 = Prestige Cabin no 509, with balcony) and lifts to all decks/areas.
