4 Antarctica is a land of extremes, but also one of tremendous natural beauty. The experiences travellers can have in this magical region rival even the most beautiful ports in the Mediterranean or the most exotic cities of Asia. The Southernmost Continent has been the subject of fascination for centuries. Today, its islands, glaciers and mountain ranges boast the names of some of history s most famous explorers: Crozier, Evans, Gerlache the list goes on. But remarkably, today s cruisers can add their names to the short list of humans who have explored this astonishing part of the world. There s no better way to kick off an Antarctic cruise than by highlighting one of newest, sleekest ships to sail to the region: Compagnie du Ponant s brand-new sleek mega-yacht Le Boreal. The chic Le Boreal is the sister-ship to the immensely popular L Austral. These ships have been so successful that Compagnie du Ponant just announced an order for a third sister-ship of the same design. Easily identifiable by their sleek grey hulls and sweeping white superstructure, L Austral and Le Boreal both sail the fascinating polar waters of Antarctica this winter. At 466 feet in length, Le Boreal can carry up to 264 fortunate guests in the kind of comfort and style that many cruisers wouldn t think possible in the Polar Regions. Gone are the days when a trip to Antarctica meant roughing it onboard a Russian freighter; passengers aboard the Le Boreal can revel in designer Jean-Philippe Nuel s magnificent, French-inspired interior designs.

5 Built by the experienced team at Italy s Fincantieri shipyards, Le Boreal and her sister are a feast for the senses. The Gastronomic Restaurant can seat the entire compliment of passengers in one seating and serves up international and French-inspired cuisine. The ship also features a full theatre, a spa, several bars, and even an outdoor eating area perfect for those who don t mind braving the chill of the arctic waters. In fact, Le Boreal just might be the hippest ship to sail the Southern Ocean. It s also one of the most environmentally-conscious, too: both L Austral and Le Boreal feature dynamic positioning, optical depthsounding to avoid collisions with marine life, an electric propulsion system that utilizes diesel engines driven by lighter marine diesel fuel, an onboard waste treatment facility and low-power lighting for reduced energy consumption and overall emissions. The smallest staterooms onboard this exciting French ship measure 200 square feet and include a 43 square-foot private balcony. Superior Oceanview staterooms come in slightly larger at 226 square feet; large by mainstream cruise ship standards, where most Oceanview staterooms measure approximately 160 square feet. On the other end of the scale is the Owner s Suite, which features a 97 square-foot private balcony in addition to a whopping 484 square feet of living and sleeping space. The ship s yacht-like appearance tends to hide the fact that Compagnie du Ponant designed Le Boreal to be able to handle the sometimes arduous conditions of the Polar Regions. In fact, Compagnie du Ponant s itineraries regularly take their fleet of French-inspired ships to some of the worlds most exotic and off-the beaten path locales, like Greenland, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and Europe s Far North. On this itinerary though, passengers can revel in the magic of Antarctica while sailing aboard a ship that offers all the comforts of a fine boutique Parisian hotel; a possibility Ernest Shackleton could only have dreamed about.
