Mega yacht Le Boreal.

The luxury expedition ship Le Boreal embarked on its first cruise in the spring of 2010. 

Built in the spirit of a private yacht, with large arched windows that define the character of the vessel, Le Boreal is a subtle combination of luxury, privacy and well—being. The interior design of the vessel was developed by the Jean-Philippe Nuel agency. 

The mega yacht offers its guests accommodation in 132 cabins with ocean views, most of which are equipped with balconies, so no event will go unnoticed. This is a stylish and powerful vessel, which is equipped with the latest technology. 

Everything has been thought out on board — the reception area, spacious halls, two restaurants, a well-equipped theater, an outdoor swimming pool, a beauty salon and a fitness center, and a relaxation area with panoramic windows. Cooking as an art is the main rule of fine restaurants on board. 

There are 2 of them on board: a traditional restaurant where you can dine both indoors and outdoors. The second restaurant is an international cuisine with delicious dishes. 

We have done everything not to disrupt the usual way of your life and to provide for all your desires: shows and presentations are held in comfortable salons, a spa is offered in partnership with Carita™, a more private atmosphere is available in the library and the Internet center. 

Comfortable cabins and suites are available to accommodate families as triple rooms or connecting rooms. There is also a game room with Wii™ game consoles. All decks are serviced by an elevator.

It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

For our compatriots, choosing clothes for polar expedition cruises is not difficult: our winter sportswear is quite suitable for the climatic conditions during most of our trips. 

Thermal underwear, wind and waterproof clothing, and rubber boots will become a reliable foundation for your comfort in the polar regions.

Layering in clothing is the most important thing in Arctic expeditions. It is better to wear several light garments than one very warm one. This will help you optimally adapt to temperature changes: it is always easier to take off a layer of clothing if you feel hot, or put on something else if it gets chilly.

1) The base layer

Choose thermal underwear made of merino wool or polypropylene, depending on the temperature of the region and the planned activity level.

2) The middle layer

Wool or fleece sweaters, longsleeves, turtlenecks to create layers of clothing. The middle layers can be worn both under the park on landings and on board the ship.

3) The top layer

Windproof and waterproof parka and trousers. The park can be single-layered (insulated with protection from wind and water) or double-layered (consisting of a warm layer and an upper wind and water protection layer).

4) Shoes and accessories

Rubber boots (regular or insulated) are the most suitable option for expeditions. Bring several pairs of gloves/mittens (1 light, 1 warm waterproof, 1 spare), a hat, scarf/ buff, several pairs of warm (for example, wool) and regular socks.
