Le Boréal , like its Sisterships L’Austral , Le Soléal and Le Lyrial , epitomises the unique feel and atmosphere of the ships of the PONANT fleet. Subtly combining luxury, intimacy and serene well-being, the ship has been designed to offer passengers both moments of conviviality and spaces conducive to peaceful tranquillity and a sense of escape and getting away from it all. Its exterior and interior lines testify to the ingeniousness and refinement with which the Sisterships have been designed.

Découvrez Le Boréal
"The Le Boréal is an intimately sized ship on which the interactions between cruise passengers were frequent and friendly. The captain was ever-present and maintained a special, privileged relationship with the passengers. I'd also like to pay tribute to the incredible work done by the entertainment team. The entire crew were attentive, friendly and always available."
