Le Soleal
Le Soleal was built in 2013 for Ponant Cruises and is the sister-ship of Le Boreal, L’Austral and Le Lyrial. Similarly to the other ships in Ponant’s ‘Le Boreal Class’, Le Soleal boasts a sleek design and an onboard experience more akin to a private yacht than that of a traditional cruise ship. Le Soleal is a fantastic choice if you are a couple, small group or solo traveller seeking cruise adventures in Antarctica, Asia, Alaska and the South Pacific.
