Embark on an epic exploration of Australia' wild and varied Southern coastline for a taste of the many faces of this beautiful country. Starting in the heritage city of Fremantle, head South down the coast of Western Australia to the city of Albany, with its whaling, convict and settler history. Beach and nature lovers will be in paradise at Esperance, with squeaky-clean beaches, turquoise waters, untouched islands and colour-filled wildflower country, including Australia' whitest beach - Lucky Bay! Discover the beauty of the Recherche Archipelago, a biodiversity hotspot filled with marine life, breeding colonies of Australian fur seal, New Zealand fur seal and the Australian Sea Lion, as well as an abundance of bird species. Sample and savour the exceptional seafood of South Australia' Port Lincoln and the famous wine and gastronomic experiences of McLaren Vale. Continue on to Tasmania, including King Island' beautiful beaches, delicious food (from succulent beef and rich gourmet cheese, to crayfish plucked from the Island' crystal clear waters), great nature walks and unique wildlife. What better way to round out an unforgettable voyage than with a visit to the Tamar Valley, known for its award-winning wines and considered one of the world' top 10 wine routes! You'll then disembark in Hobart - Tasmania' capital, where its captivating history, picturesque waterways and rugged mountains will make sure you never want to leave.
Sailing under the French flag, this magnificent yacht of only 132 staterooms and Suites, with balconies, joined the fleet in July 2013. You will be enchanted by the contemporary decor inspired by the luxury yachting world, with fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white.
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.
