L'Austral
L'Austral belongs to Ponant's Odyssée class: 264 guests, ice-reinforced hull, French cuisine with wine at dinner. Large enough for comfort on the open sea, small enough for fjords, pack ice boundaries and islands without a harbour.
In the Mediterranean, L'Austral combines cultural voyages with the savoir-vivre of the Ponant philosophy: onboard lectures, regional cuisine, small ports with history.
