Ship: LE COMMANDANT CHARCOT

The Geographic North Pole and the east coast of Greenland

In collaboration with The Explorers Club, this unique voyage will feature renowned mountaineer Peter Hillary, son of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man along with his climbing partner Tenzing Norgay to climb Mt. Everest. Peter has been on more than 50 mountaineering expeditions around the world, including five on Mt. Everest in the Himalayas, the Seven Summits (climbing the highest mountain on each continent), and over 40 trips to Antarctica that include a traverse on skis to the South Pole, an exploration of the Marble Mountains at 80 South, and an ascent of Mt. Vinson, Antarctica's highest mountain. Push the boundaries of navigation and set sail for 90 degrees North! Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the rare ship capable of rising to this challenge, you will slowly progress into the heart of the ice floe, in search of the Geographic North Pole. Before reaching the Holy Grail of all polar explorers, you will sail along eastern Greenland, its majestic fjords, its Inuit traditions and, perhaps, its Northern Lights. On the way back, Spitsbergen, the isolated kingdom of the polar bears and Europe’s largest ice cap will reveal itself. A rare odyssey, between frozen silence and the untouched grandeur of the boundaries of the world. Find out more about the world of Le Commandant Charcot here! We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation, mainly in the fjords, will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the fast ice must be preserved, we will take this into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing programme, outings, activities and observation of fauna cannot be guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions. The experiences are unique and vary from day to day and for 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 AECO.
