L AUSTRAL against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median cruise ship on this register (build year 2010, 195 vessels with a known build year). At 10,700 gross tonnage it is smaller than 93% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is the only cruise ship on this register under the France flag. The same builder is recorded for 132 other vessels here, 60 of them cruise ships. Ponant is linked to 5 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give MATA UTU as port of registry.
Its 7,846 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 75% below the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 245.9 kg CO₂, 70% below the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 3,240 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 21.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (7,952 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,040 t). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 199.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 1.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
