Itinerary

Set sail aboard Le Lyrial for an exceptional 8-day cruise to discover the Western Mediterranean. From towns brimming with history to stunning islands, this unforgettable itinerary has many a surprise in store. Your journey will begin in Málaga, the capital of the Costa del Sol. After a first call at Valencia, with its remarkable architectural splendours, you will join Palma de Mallorca, one of the jewels of the Balearic Archipelago, known for its four main islands that are charming, picturesque and discreet, sitting atop the clear waters of the Mediterranean like grains of sand You will continue your visit to the Balearic Islands with the discovery of the well-preserved Menorca. Mahon, the island' capital, will charm you with its age-old history and its exceptional port, which, at 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) long, is the biggest in the Mediterranean! You will leave the Balearic Islands for the Isle of Beauty. You will visit Bonifacio, the jewel of the far south of Corsica. A veritable fortress sculpted by the wind and the spray, the "sentinel city" will reveal its historical centre and its long cobbled streets. You will then set sail for Calvi in the heart of the Balagne region. Between steep peaks and sublime beaches with turquoise waters, you will experience a wild and authentic Corsica.  Below the Cap Corse mountains and the Agriates desert, the beauty of the landscapes gives Saint-Florent a picture-postcard appearance.  Your cruise will end in Nice, capital of the French Riviera.

Le Lyrial

Sailing under the French flag, this magnificent yacht of only 122 staterooms and Suites, with balconies, joined the fleet in April 2015. You will be enchanted by the contemporary decor inspired by the destinations and the blue light of the Vega star in the Lyra constellation. The result is a subtle variation around a palette of blues, ranging from the luminous delicate grey-blue of the Polar ice to splashes of the vivid turquoise blue found in Mediterranean coves

A refined ambiance is enhanced by the quality of the workmanship and materials: white Corian counters in the lobby contrast with the warmth of leather to recall a boat’s hull, while the central sculpture of enamelled pieces takes its inspiration from the sea. In the lounge bar, the carpet picks up a tennis stripe theme symbolising a certain idea of cruising, one synonymous with French elegance and a chic seaside spirit.
