Southern Loop with Ponant Lyrial: any advice on choosing a cabin number?

Hi there,

Based on your experience, do you have any advice to help me choose the right balcony cabin on the Lyrial for the Southern Loop expedition? I’d like one that’s well-placed for easy access to both outdoor and indoor decks for photos (e.g., a standard cabin, not a suite).

For example, would you prefer starboard or port side? Deck 4 or 5? The first cabin from the front or does it not matter?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Sylvie,

The deck I prefer is deck 4—it’s perfectly located for all access points, outdoor areas, restaurants, etc. The cabins in the middle of the ship are the best placed in case of rough weather, as they’re the least affected by the boat’s movements. And if you get seasick, you’ll feel best on the lowest deck, in the middle of the ship. Starboard or port doesn’t really matter—you’ll see just as much from either side on this itinerary.

Thanks Catherine for the great tips—I’ll follow them!
