L’Austral

The sleek, 466-foot L’Austral seamlessly combines French sophistication with state-of-the-art exploration capabilities, making her an ideal choice for discerning travelers seeking to discover the world’s most remote and beautiful destinations in style.

With an innovative design, sleek shape and profile, refined interior decoration, and friendly, intimate atmosphere—she has a capacity of just 264 passengers (limited to 200 in Antarctica)—L’Austral has a singular style and signature all of her own. The combination of fine materials, colours, and tones harmoniously livened up with touches of bright colour, elegant lines, and discreet and subtle refinement, have created a unique atmosphere and personality aboard: the chic style and naturally relaxing ambiance of a veritable private yacht.

Luxurious Accommodations & Amenities with a View

95% of L’Austral’s staterooms and suites boast private balconies, offering guests their own personal vantage point to admire breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. The well-appointed rooms, designed by French interior experts, provide a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.

L’Austral has many spaces designed and fitted out with the need to provide privacy for all passengers in mind. Cosy and refined in feel and atmosphere, these lively spaces—pool, wellness area, panoramic lounge, and more—provide those moments of relaxation and conviviality to suit every taste.

Gastronomic Excellence at Sea

L’Austral takes dining to new heights with its two restaurants. The main Gastronomic Restaurant serves exquisite French and international cuisine, while the casual Grill Restaurant offers al fresco dining opportunities. Both venues showcase the talents of Ducasse Conseil-trained chefs, ensuring a culinary journey that matches the excitement of your destination.

Cutting-Edge, Eco-Friendly Technology

As a certified “Clean Ship” by Bureau Veritas, L’Austral demonstrates the utmost commitment to sustainable travel. The vessel’s advanced propulsion system, dynamic positioning, and state-of-the-art sonar allow for environmentally responsible exploration of sensitive ecosystems, reducing the ship’s impact while maximizing the guest experience.

L’Austral offers the perfect platform for exploring the world’s most remote regions, all while enjoying the comforts of a luxury yacht and the expertise of a world-class expedition team. The most luxurious of adventures awaits!
