I've already posted a few pictures and impressions of Compagnie du Ponant's new ship Le Boreal, but here you can see the ship and some of my thoughts on video.
The ship itself, and the decor are lovely, and as I explained before, the atmosphere and food on board is very French. I'm afraid I couldn't go for the frogs' legs on the BBQ, but the chicken and steak served up by executive chef Jean-Pierre Hupin, who is seen here on the video, were tasty.
And despite the look of horror when I asked, he agreed to cook my steak well done - looking more understanding when I excused myself on the grounds that I am English!
Enjoy.
