This is an expedition on a polar exploration vessel, Le Commandant Charcot. The sailing program, outings, activities and wildlife observations are not guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions.
Children from 8 years old are welcome on board.
Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, venture into the untouched, remote region of Northeast Greenland, a journey of exploration and discovery through one of the hardest-to-reach areas of the Far North. During this unique spring season, you will be among the first visitors to this hostile yet stunning environment, where ice and snow are still omnipresent. You will sail amid the drift ice, exploring pristine landscapes with huge fjords and glaciers that reveal their sharp, crystalline peaks. The ship is a silent marvel of technology, offering exceptional opportunities for wildlife observation, from blue whales to polar bears.
The expedition takes you to the Ittoqqortoormiit region, home to the world's largest fjord network. Here, you'll be warmly welcomed by the last hunters of the polar region, discovering their ancestral way of life and participating in festive moments on the ice floe. Farther on, you'll sail with humility amid the pearl-white floating cathedrals of the sea ice. Aboard your ship, a kayak or a Zodiac, you will have diverse opportunities to explore these hypnotic panoramas and feel the childlike awe of exploring a frozen desert.
Highlights:
Sail with humility amid the drift ice of Northeast Greenland.
Explore the remote Blosseville Coast, surrounded by ice and pack ice.
Immerse yourself in the ancestral way of life in the village of Ittoqqortoormiit.
