Overview
Le Lyrial is a sophisticated, 466-foot luxury expedition ship that is part of the Ponant fleet and chartered by Tauck for both cultural and polar expeditions. This sleek vessel maintains an intimate atmosphere, accommodating just 224 guests, which is significantly smaller than most conventional cruise ships. This exclusivity ensures highly personalized service and access to smaller, more remote ports of call.
Designed with an elegant, modern aesthetic, every stateroom and suite offers ocean views, with nearly all featuring a private balcony. Accommodations are appointed with designer amenities, fine linens, and a complimentary minibar. Guests enjoy a selection of dining venues, including a gastronomic restaurant and a more casual grill.
Onboard amenities feature a sun deck, a pool, a fully equipped spa and fitness center, and a theater for nightly entertainment and educational lectures, providing an exceptional, all-inclusive luxury experience whether cruising the Mediterranean or navigating the polar regions.

5 out of 5 stars
The cabin, while very small, has plenty of closet and drawer space. The bathroom is very small, separated into two separate rooms--one with the toilet only and the other with the sink and shower. The design of the shower makes it difficult to adjust the water temperature without being under the spray. The crew onboard was excellent! Well-trained, very friendly and efficient.
Pros: Comfortable lounges and restaurants
Cons: Very small cabin

Had NO expectations when I went on the cruise but for some excitement - got that as well as a wonderful cruise experience (I love cruising!) and especially enjoyed the small number of passengers - easy to meet and talk to almost everyone.
Pros: Service was primo...ship clean...food fantastic and very nicely presented...
Cons: Can't think of ONE but for the fact I would have liked the entertainment to have been prior to dinner.
