Our guests share their stories
"I was captivated by Le Commandant Charcot during a navigation in Greenland. The word 'exploration' is particularly well chosen: We knew right away we were embarking on an extraordinary adventure, led by a team of experts."
"To discover a part of the Antarctic continent is a dream and a privilege that few people can experience. It encourages you to contemplate nature in all its splendour and strength. Selecting to embark on this experience with PONANT means accessing an even more unique adventure, in the best possible environment."
"We end the day with the Captain's farewell dinner. Smiles, anecdotes and shared laughter fill the air. It is the time when the bonds that have been woven throughout the shared excursions, meals and activities become truly significant. The faces, now familiar, are no longer just those of fellow travellers, but of temporary friends, souls with whom memories have been created. But above all, it is the promise to return once again to a PONANT ship."
