L'Austral, launched in 2011, and the sister ship Le Boreal (launched in 2010) are small enough ships to provide a truly intimate cruise experience; their size makes them ideally suited for visiting ports in the Adriatic, the Baltics along the coast of Iceland and in Antarctica that bigger ships can't reach.
