This unique voyage is in collaboration with The Explorers Club and features pioneering guests like Kate Wawatai and American Photo Ambassador Cindy Miller Hopkins. The itinerary is flexible and subject to weather and ice conditions, and navigating to the North Pole is inaccessible to traditional ships.
Push the boundaries of navigation and set sail for 90° North on an exceptional polar exploration in search of the mythical Geographic North Pole. During this odyssey, you will journey up through the silent, desert landscapes of the constantly changing ice floe. Your adventure continues as you travel down along the coast of Greenland, amidst the ice of the Transpolar Drift. Between majestic fjords and encounters with the Inuit culture, the region of Ittoqqortoormiit is rich in rare treasures. In this region near the auroral circle, you may be lucky enough to observe the Northern Lights, an additional Arctic marvel.
This unique voyage is in collaboration with The Explorers Club, and features a pioneering explorer and a Science Grantee who will offer firsthand insights into ongoing research. The journey is aboard Le Commandant Charcot, a ship uniquely able to reach the North Pole, an achievement accessible to very few people. As you progress through this polar landscape, you'll witness Europe's largest ice cap on Nordaustlandet and immense glaciers in Greenland. This is an unparalleled opportunity to follow in the wake of legendary explorers and reach the "Holy Grail of all polar explorers."
