Antarctic exploration cannot be separated from the pioneers who travelled in these territories at the edges of the Earth. Charcot, Bellingshausen, Shackleton, Fisher, Ross, Amundsen… They left their names everywhere. Le Commandant Charcot invites you to set off in the footsteps of these great Antarctic figures during an unrivalled half-circumnavigation that will sail from the far south of the American continent to Australia. Like a real explorer, you will navigate along the Antarctic Peninsula and Marguerite Bay, approach Marie Byrd Land, one of the last Terra nullius of our planet, and, if conditions allow it, attempt to reach Charcot Island, enveloped in its blanket of ice. Finally, explore Ross Sea, which is very significant in the history of South Pole exploration and also the world’s largest marine protected area. As a privileged witness, keep a watchful eye and take the time to observe the Antarctic petrels, whales, orcas, seals and penguins that are to be found here.

We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation 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 schedule and any landings, activities and wildlife encounters are subject to weather and ice conditions. These experiences are unique and vary with 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 IAATO.

Be the first aboard Le Commandant-Charcot, the world’s luxury polar exploration vessel, and enjoy a unique sailing experience in the Arctic or Antarctic!

With its hybrid propulsion combining liquefied natural gas (LNG) and electric generators, Le Commandant-Charcot has been designed to minimise the environmental impact of travel to the furthest latitudes.

The decoration of the ship, imagined by two internationally renowned design and architecture firms – the studio of Jean-Philippe Nuel and Wilmotte & Associés – is designed to be in harmony with the environment. The approach is contemporary with the desire to create a warm and elegant setting; stone, wood and leather recall the natural environment in which the ship is sailing.

Equipped with just 135 staterooms including 31 suites with balconies and outside views, Le Commandant-Charcot welcomes you in an intimate and refined atmosphere. Outstanding gastronomy in the two restaurants, relaxation in the indoor pool surrounded by its winter garden, relaxation in the well-being area with sauna and Snow Room… Like on a private yacht, each of our guests is unique.
