Explore the Southern Ocean, the kingdom of great expeditions and home to the most extraordinary adventures, during an expedition cruise to the highest latitudes, from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia and the immaculate lands of Antarctica.

During this odyssey, where wild nature reigns supreme, you will discover, escorted by sei whales, the breathtaking landscapes of the Falkland Islands, featuring white sandy beaches, jagged cliffs and windswept moors. Then the mountainous South Georgia will guide you in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton, into the heart of its glaciers shaped by time, where king penguins, elephant seals and fur seals populate the beaches of black sand.

The inaccessible White Continent finally reveals itself, draping icebergs, glaciers, mountains and icy seas in thousands of shades of white. In this universe of silence and light, Adelie, Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, seals, whales and seabirds will become your companions on this unforgettable journey imbued with adventure and dreaminess.

We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the IAATO.

This superb mega-yacht with 132 cabins is the result of the expertise of the Italian Fincantieri shipyard and French sophistication, as interpreted by designer Jean-Philippe Nuel. L’Austral remains faithful to our philosophy – to create a unique atmosphere, a subtle blend of luxury, intimacy and well-being.

A sleek silhouette softened by elegantly smooth contours and large, arched windows opening up to the sea and the light: so many features come together to give L’Austral her distinctive shape. Precious materials, discreet elegance and a perfect balance between chic and casual, combine to make you feel as if you are on your own private yacht. A design blending tradition and innovation, where a nautical mood has been subtly recreated. Precious materials in smoothing neutral tones are brought to life with splashes of cheerful reds. So many personal touches create the spirit of a “private yacht.”

You will encounter unique itineraries, calls inaccessible to large ships, chic and elegant yacht-like ambiance, raffined and personalized service as well as gastronomic cuisine.
