LE BOREAL L'AUSTRAL DESIGN: THE CRUISING YACHT CONCEPT

摘要

The aim at the heart of the Le Boreal and L'Austral designs was the concept of a cruising yacht. Custom-built at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Ancona, Italy, Le Boreal was delivered to Compagnie du Ponant in April 2010. As the fourth ship of their cruise fleet, she can accommodate 264 passengers in 132 cabins with 95% passenger cabins featuring a private balcony. This paper will present the design process in terms of conceptual design and exterior styling, hydrodynamic and environmental efficiency, as well as the innovative aspects specifically developed for these projects in compliance with rules and regulations.
