Le Lyrial is a 10,700-ton vessel operated by French cruise line Ponant, built by Fincantieri at its Ancona shipyard. The ship accommodates 264 passengers and 139 crew members across seven decks, measuring 142 meters in length with an 18-meter beam.
With a maximum speed of 16 knots, Le Lyrial carries a relatively intimate passenger load compared to larger cruise ships, resulting in a higher space-to-guest ratio. This smaller scale reflects Ponant's focus on more personalized voyages and access to ports that larger vessels cannot reach.
The ship's compact dimensions and passenger capacity make it suitable for expedition-style cruising and immersive destination experiences.
