About Le Lyrial
Le Lyrial is a compact luxury expedition yacht designed for intimate voyages in destinations ranging from polar regions to the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean. Delivered by Fincantieri in 2015, the ship combines French-inspired interiors with a high space-to-guest ratio, 122 staterooms and suites, and a current maximum capacity of 245 guests. Its smaller size supports access to ports and coastal areas that are unsuitable for larger cruise ships, while onboard enrichment and expedition-oriented facilities complement the destination-focused experience.
