Le Lyrial
Le Lyrial entered service in 2015 as the fourth and final ship of the Odyssée class. 264 guests, proven Ponant equipment and the experience of three predecessors. Particularly sought-after for Antarctic expeditions, where the ice-reinforced hull opens passages available to few ships.
In the Arctic, Le Lyrial sails through the fjords of Svalbard and along the Greenlandic coast - expeditions where glaciers, whales and northern lights are part of the programme.
