Features Onboard:
Chic and elegant with a yacht-like ambiance, L’Austral reflects the artistry of Italian shipbuilding paired with French sophistication and service. This luxury expedition vessel sails to breathtaking destinations across Antarctica, South America, Europe, the Arctic, Asia, and the South Pacific. Onboard, guests can unwind in stylish social areas that include a swimming pool, spa, theater, lounge, fitness center, and panoramic terrace. Culinary experiences are equally refined—the main restaurant offers exquisite French and international cuisine complemented by fine wines, while the outdoor “Grill” serves buffet-style meals with sweeping ocean views. Since her launch in 2011, L’Austral has embodied the perfect harmony of tradition, innovation, and intimacy, giving travelers access to remote coves and harbors unreachable by larger ships.
