Sailing under the French flag, this magnificent yacht of only 132 staterooms and Suites, with balconies, joined our 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 loungebar, the carpet picks up a tennis stripe theme symbolising a certain idea of cruising, one synonymous with French elegance and a chic seaside spirit. #### Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Passenger Capacity | 264 | | Crew | 139 | | Gross Tonnage | 0.0 | | Length | 466.0 ft | | Total Cabins | 0 | ## Onboard Amenities ### Entertainment - **The Theatre**: 2,690 square feet Capacity: 250 Conference room, concert hall/multi-purpose auditorium Audiovisual equipment - **An evening of entertainment**: Your evening follows on with entertainment in the Grand Salon or the Theatre.
