“Le Lyrial”, a super luxury cruise ship ordered to Fincantieri by the French cruise line Ponant (Bridgepoint Group), was launched today at the Ancona shipyard.

The new ship, which will fly the French flag, is the fourth sister ship following “L’Austral”, “Le Boreal” and “Le Soleal”, delivered respectively in May 2010, April 2011 and June 2013.

As its sister ships, “Le Lyrial” can be compared to a mega-yacht. It is equipped with the very latest in environmentally friendly technology, while its small size means that it will be able to reach ports and destinations inaccessible to larger vessels.

Also “The Lyrial” has an innovative design of public areas, that have been developed internally by Fincantieri with products and labor defined by a dedicated team “in house”, and equipped with a lighting system of the latest generation of energy saving which involves exclusively LEDs made in Italy.
