  • About

Launched in 2013, Le Soleal is a welcome addition to A&K's privately chartered expedition boat complement, and is the sister vessel to the renowned Le Boreal, our polar cruising ship. Marrying the important cruise elements of luxury, adventure and above all, safety, the signature design of Le Soleal has been matched with fluid lines, elegant interiors and an intimate size. Le Soleal is one of the most rare and innovative yachts on the market.

The elegant grey tonal colour scheme combines natural wood and shades of grey and white, referencing a quintessentially nautical theme. Decorated by French interior designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, the flexible capacity of the ship allows for adjoining staterooms and suites where possible in the maximum configuration, making the vessel ideal for families. All cabins and suites offer private balconies. For the ultimate indulgence we like the Owner's Suites, with a separate living area and 100 square foot private balcony.

On board you'll find the utmost in amenities, with stylish lounge areas including a piano bar. Meals are served in one of two restaurants: Marina, a gastronomic restaurant specialising in French and international cuisine where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, and the Grill, which offers a less formal venue for breakfast, buffet lunch and themed dinners. The lecture theatre is the prime venue for the expert talks on offer, from everything from gardening to ancient history. There's also a fitness and beauty corner with a Hammam, and a pool deck bar.
