Explore an ever-increasing range of destinations and spectacular scenery, authentic encounters, close-up observation of wildlife, and much more in an ethnic-chic ambience with luxury service.
Le Champlain is equipped with a multi-sensory underwater passenger lounge, called Blue Eye, located within the hull beneath the water line. Non-intrusive underwater projectors enable the observation of the seabed and photo-luminescent organisms without any risk to the marine biosphere.
