About Le Lyrial
Le Lyrial is the youngest of Ponant's four Sisterships, delivered by Fincantieri's Ancona yard in April 2015 and named after the constellation Lyra. She shares the 142-metre design of her sisters but has fewer, larger rooms: 122 staterooms and suites for about 244 guests, plus a pool, theatre, spa and Zodiacs. Her voyages run from the Chilean fjords and the Antarctic Peninsula to the British Isles, Svalbard, Greenland and the Saint Lawrence, with an ocean crossing between Buenos Aires and the Canary Islands linking the seasons.
