Le Lyrial is a new cruise ship built by Fincantieri in Ancona, Italy, for Compagnie du Ponant. It was delivered on 11 April 2015, and will operate its inaugural cruise in May 2015.
The name of the ship refers to the Lyra constellation in the northern hemisphere.
Le Lyrial has 122 cabins and suites. All of them have sea views, and 94 percent feature a private balcony. An entire deck of the ship is devoted solely to suites, some of which larger than those on the vessel's three older sister ships. Even Le Lyrial's lowest-category Superior Stateroom is 21 m2 (230 sq ft) in area; Deluxe Staterooms have an area of 19 m2 (200 sq ft) and a 4 m2 (43 sq ft) balcony.
According to Fincantieri, Le Lyrial is equipped with the latest environmentally-friendly technology, such as an energy-saving LED lighting system. Additionally, Le Lyrial has such low levels of vibration and noise that it has been categorised as “Comfort Class” by its classification society, Bureau Veritas.
