The 184-guest ship has 92 staterooms and suites, all positioned for a spacious, small-ship experience, with French-inspired dining, lounges, a theater, pool, spa, fitness room and the Blue Eye multisensory underwater lounge. Its compact 131.5-metre hull and ice-strengthened expedition design support access to destinations larger cruise ships cannot reach.

Dining includes an elegant main restaurant and an outdoor grill, complemented by lounges and bars serving a relaxed, refined onboard atmosphere.
The theater hosts lectures from experts and naturalists, as well as live shows, concerts and professional performances. Lounges and an observatory-style viewing environment provide quieter alternatives.
The ship offers 92 staterooms and suites, including balcony staterooms, Deluxe, Prestige, Privilege, Grand and Owner’s Suites. PONANT lists accommodation sizes from approximately 204 to 484 square feet.
