According to Fincantieri, Le Lyrial is equipped with the latest environmentally-friendly technology, such as an energy-saving LED lighting system. Additionally, Le Lyrial has such low levels of vibration and noise that it has been categorised as “Comfort Class” by its classification society, Bureau Veritas.[2]
