Description

Jean-Philippe Nuel was able to make this yacht, built for Ponant by Fincantieri, into a true jewel that combines elegance and simplicity, using a style that characterizes the units of this fleet. Onboard, tradition and innovation intertwine in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere where guests are sure to enjoy fantastic experiences together. The size permits L’Austral to reach unusual destinations, including exclusive expedition itineraries to Antarctica, in which Pontant is one of the most active and specialized companies. Enjoying French or international cuisine, magnificent landscapes all around, and the highest comfort in the various types of cabins with light colors and sophisticated details, are only a part of what this mega-yacht offers.
