Le Soleal embodies a subtle blend of luxury, intimacy and exploration in a medium-sized expedition cruise ship. It is perfect for guests looking for an authentic expedition in the polar regions with a high standard of onboard comfort. Le Soleal is one of four sister ships with L’ Boreal, L'Austral and L’ Lyrial, each nearly identical apart from minor cosmetic differences.Â
The ship accommodates 264 guests but takes 200 guests only on Antarctica cruises, offering an uncrowded and spacious feel at all times. Le Soleal provides a range of staterooms and upmarket suites, mostly with private balconies.
Whether enjoying a meal with panoramic views at the Le Pythéas Grill Restaurant or savouring a gourmet dinner at the L'Éclipse Gastronomic Restaurant, Le Soleal caters to diverse tastes and is committed to culinary excellence.
Geared around the expedition experience, Le Soleal is an ice-strengthened ship with a world-class team of polar guides and a fleet of Zodiacs to allow guests to explore further. One of the few ships to explore Antarctica from New Zealand, the ship's itineraries are carefully crafted to explore the unique natural wonders of our planet.
Le Soleal is one of four sister ships, along with Le lyrial, Le Austral and Le Boreal. Le Soleal was the the third of the four ships to be launched and is a huge advancement in responsible cruising with electric engines and state- of-the-art waste recovery and recycling.
