Le Lyrial cruise ship

Ponant Cruises:   Le Lyrial

Le Lyrial, the fourth ship in the Sisterships series, epitomizes a new generation of intimately sized cruise ships. Its sleek exterior and refined interior design exude understated elegance, making it a truly unique and innovative yacht.
For the interior decoration, inspiration was drawn from the tones and colors of the destinations, featuring a palette of blues—from the soft, luminous grey-like hues of polar ice to the vibrant shades and turquoises of Mediterranean inlets and coves.
