Le Lyrial cabins and suites

All MS Le Lyrial staterooms (122 total – 33 suites and 89 cabins) are forward-located, while all public rooms are positioned aft. The accommodations section is served by one staircase (aft) and a single elevator (forward). Passenger capacity varies as many cabins are interconnecting and can be combined into suites. The standard layout includes 24 suites and 88 cabins. There are three wheelchair-accessible staterooms (one on each of decks 3, 4, and 5, all located near the elevator). In total, there are 9 cabin categories.

Below is a review of Ponant Le Lyrial staterooms, covering furniture, amenities, and complimentary services:

All Le Lyrial cabins, regardless of category, are furnished with King-size beds (convertible to twins), bedside tables, luxury mattresses, premium bedding, and silk cushions. Each features an en suite bathroom with a single-sink vanity, glass-enclosed shower, separate WC, terry bathrobes, and luxury bath products. Other amenities include a lounge/sitting area (vanity desk, stationery, round table, armchair, mini-bar), dressing room (ample wardrobe and drawer space), smart HDTV (infotainment system with Internet and on-demand movies), hairdryer, iPod station, Wi-Fi Internet, electronic safe, lifejackets (in the closet), satellite direct-dial phone, power outlets (110/220V), and individual air conditioning. Suites are stocked with Sothys bath products, while standard cabins use L’Occitane.

Complimentary 24-hour room service is available in all categories. The menu includes fast-food style items (burgers, fries, steaks, salads – all free of charge). Bottled water is also provided free of charge during shore excursions.

Except for the Owner’s Suite, all staterooms feature a bathroom with a sliding panel in the shower, revealing a glass wall for unobstructed sea views. The largest accommodation is the Owner’s Suite (deck 6), a two-room apartment with a bedroom (king bed, TV), master bathroom (Balneo bathtub, dual-sink vanity, separate WC and shower), guest bathroom (WC, sink), lounge area (double sofa bed, TV), dining area (4-seat dining table), and a private balcony with dual access.

Prestige Suites are also two-room accommodations, consisting of two connecting Prestige balcony cabins (Decks 4 and 5 only) with a double-width veranda. They include 2 bathrooms (each with WC and sink, one with shower, the master with bathtub), 2 dressing rooms, 2 TVs, 2 mini-bars, and a lounge with a double sofa bed.

Deluxe Suites also feature bathrooms with a separate bathtub, sink, WC, and shower. Prestige and Deluxe categories are identical in design, differing only by deck location and pricing.

With the exception of Superior cabins (with picture windows), all Le Lyrial staterooms have private verandas with luxury outdoor furniture (small table and two rattan chairs). Superior cabins are fitted with a wardrobe, single sofa bed, and dressing table.

Categories with complimentary butler service (included in cruise fares) are the SA-Owner Suite, DS6-Deluxe Suite, and both Prestige Suites (PS5 and PS6). In-room babysitting is available upon request.
