Le Dumont-d'Urville embodies a subtle blend of refinement, intimacy, and comfort. This limited-capacity yacht incorporates 92 environmentally-friendly equipment, elegantly designed cabins, with large windows, and lounge areas that open onto the outside, providing for an intimate and extraordinary cruising experience.

As the first ship this beautiful 184-passanger remains the unique atmosphere off it's sisters. Aboard this ship that flies the French flag, you can experience the incomparable pleasure of an intimate cruise, with the possibility of exploring an ever-increasing range of destinations in an ethnic-chic ambiance with luxury service.

As it is an essential part of French culture, gastronomy will naturally have pride of place aboard this new ship. Through its two restaurants, Le Dumont d'Urville invites you on a journey to elegance and epicureanism.

Designed differently to that on our other ships, this dining area, which opens onto the outside, will have a buffet of salads, desserts and cheeses at your disposal. Our discreet and attentive crew will provide table service for hot meals.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
