For the interiors, the French cruise line has called on Ocre Bleu, the architecture and interior design agency of Jean-Philippe Nuel. Reflecting the same image of the three existing ships in the fleet, Le Boréal and sister L’Austral will offer an ambiance created by a blend of relaxation, sophistication and intimacy.

A contemporary style will favour natural materials and traditional nautical features in the public spaces, as well as throughout the 132 outside cabins and suites, 95% of which have balconies. A reception area, lounges, two restaurants, a fully equipped theatre, an outside swimming pool, a beauty and finess centre and an observation lounge are planned.
