Le Soléal, a sleek luxury yacht, is small enough to provide a truly intimate cruise experience, and ideally suited for visiting ports that bigger ships can't reach. Sophisticated styling, cutting-edge “green” technology and service that is welcoming and attentive combine for unsurpassed small ship cruising.
Le Soléal sports six decks that include Le Restaurant Gastronomique, the elegant main dining room serving French and international cuisine; the casual Le Grill Restaurant; three lounges offering evening entertainment, bars and access to the open decks, plus spacious, well-appointed staterooms and suites, most with ocean views and private balconies.
