Ponant ships

[Lutèce]

I'm looking for information on Ponant's L'Austral or Le Boréal. I know they do Antarctica, but we're not interested in that as a destination. We are considering 2 of their cruises, both in the South Pacific.

Has anyone any opinions on either of these ships in these waters?

Their brochures look lovely, but I'd like to have some personal opinions of people who have experience of them.

Thanks in advance

I would be asking this on the forum here for Other Cruise Lines, under Cruise Lines A-O. EM

Thank you, I considered that, but thought it best to ask of a wider 'audience'.
