Heading for 90° North, this exceptional polar exploration takes you in search of the mythical Geographic North Pole, the "Holy Grail of adventurers". Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, a technological cocoon designed for exploration, you will make your way towards a wild and silent world that evolves according to the ice and the light. This is a slow and humble journey in the heart of a silent world frozen by the extreme cold, where you will be able to admire the endless show of the light as it reflects on the opalescent landscapes.

This is a unique voyage where you will follow in the wake of legendary explorers like Frederick Cook and Roald Amundsen, becoming one of the very few people to have ever reached this elusive goal. During the crossing, you will have the chance to observe spectacular fauna like polar bears, seals, or whales. The journey is a round-trip from Longyearbyen, giving you the opportunity to explore the rugged coastlines and glaciers of Spitsbergen before and after your quest for the North Pole, including a visit to the scientific base of Ny-Ålesund.

Highlights:

Reach the mythical Geographic North Pole, an exploit accessible to very few people.

Explore the rugged coastlines, majestic fjords, and glaciers of Spitsbergen.

Visit Ny-Ålesund, a former mining town transformed into a scientific base.
