Experience

Venture further on a 2-Day Polar Ski Raid with local guides

Meet under the midnight sun to discover the authentic soul of the 'Land of Men' for a two-day polar ski raid with one night spent across the vast Arctic expanse.

Meeting

Inuit wisdom

Every new journey starts with a meeting. This new experience in Greenland could not have been developed without first welcoming Olé Eliasson, an Inuit hunter, aboard Le Commandant Charcot. The sharing of his knowledge of the ice floes was invaluable. His exchanges with the expedition team gave birth to the idea of offering passengers a unique moment ashore, through the icy expanses, to discover the Inuit way of life and oneself.

Travel story

To move away, to rise, to surpass

Appropriating the equipment, practicing safety exercises on the ice floe, getting ready for the big departure, letting yourself be enchanted by the song of an Inuit lullaby, taking turns at night under the midnight sun... Discover the intense emotions that await you in this story published in our magazine Escales.

Immersion

At the edge of the Far North

Benoît Carassou-Maillan, Director of Strategy and Product Development

"Le Commandant Charcot allows us to reach previously inaccessible lands, to go beyond, to leave the ship and explore the destination more deeply. To immerse ourselves even further in the local culture of the most isolated inhabitants of the Far North."

Le Commander Charcot

A pioneering ship

Le Commandant Charcot is the world's first high polar exploration vessel, electric hybrid powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas). As a scientific research vessel, it is also the only cruise ship in the world to welcome researchers on board, with dedicated workspaces for them.
