Come aboard L'Austral for an unforgettable voyage.

On the edge of the Arctic, Iceland is both romantic and untamed. Along its western coast, glaciers, vertiginous cliffs, verdant plains and waterfalls compose a breathtaking picture. Between volcanos, geysers and basalt rocks, the “land of fire and ice” reveals its lunar landscapes. Peaceful fjord branches provide shelter for fishermen’s villages, while puffins, Arctic foxes and Icelandic horses people this natural sanctuary. The icy waters of the sea are home to humpback whales and orcas, performing their striking ballet in the heart of raw and sovereign nature.
