Come aboard Le Commandant Charcot for an unforgettable voyage.
In collaboration with an organization renowned for supporting science research, education, and trailblazing expeditions around the world, this unique voyage will feature special guests from The Explorers Club to share onboard lectures, exploration stories, and scientific research throughout your journey.
Very few ships are capable of venturing so far into the heart of the Arctic ice. Le Commandant Charcot, a technological marvel designed for polar exploration, is one of them. From late spring onwards, it navigates the waters between the nature reserves of Svalbard and the remote regions of north-east Greenland . Basalt cliffs, glaciers, fjords, a giant ice sheet and drifting ice floes provide a backdrop of breathtaking beauty. As part of your exploration, go hiking or set out in a kayak or inflatable dinghy to observe these pristine landscapes, home to unique and resilient wildlife. It is a rare privilege to be able to follow in the footsteps of three great explorers: Charcot, Victor and Blosseville.

We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation, mainly in the fjords, will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the fast ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing programme, outings, activities and observation of fauna cannot be guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions. The experiences are unique and vary from day to day and for each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while respecting safety instructions and regulations imposed by the AECO.
