Designed with the spirit of a private yacht in mind, these two sister ships with their streamlined silhouettes will be delivered as of the spring of 2010. L'Austral and Le Boreal offer a unique ambiance on board, a subtle combination of well-being, sophistication and privacy.
Luxuriously decorated in a contemporary style, the interiors will be refined but welcoming, favouring natural materials and traditional nautical features. There will be a cinema / theatre and observation room on board, and both will be equipped with a computerised dynamic positioning system to avoid having to drop anchor in fragile marine reserves.
