Le Commandant Charcot, 30 Night Unexplored Eastern Antarctica between Two Continents ex Hobart, Tasmania, Australia to Ushuaia, Argentina

There where the ocean meets the ice, where the horizon is decked out in shades of blue and white, the routes of great polar adventure open up. Ross, Scott, Mawson, Shackleton… these are the names who wrote the history of the southern seas. Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, a ship designed for polar exploration, set off to make your own journey in their wake, between Australia and the far south of the American continent. The cliffs of Adelie Land, the glaciers of Wilkes Land, and the immaculate shores of Queen Mary Land and Queen Maud Land form a theatre of ice in which time stands still. Further on, Ross Sea and Weddell Sea reveal their majestic ice shelves, captivating tabular icebergs and floating ice floes, the legendary territory of the Endurance wreck, where Shackleton’s story remains forever engraved in the ice. As a privileged witness, keep a watchful eye and observe the whales, orcas, seals petrels and penguins, the majestic inhabitants of these remote areas where nature’s reign is absolute.

We are privileged guests in these extreme lands, where we are at the mercy of the weather and ice conditions.?Our commitment to respecting this environment imposes certain rules of conduct. Our navigation will be determined by the type of ice we encounter; as the coastal ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account each day when charting our itineraries.?The sailing programme, outings, activities and observation of fauna are subject to weather and ice conditions. These experiences are unique and vary for each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with applicable safety rules and IAATO regulations.

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.
