Le Commandant Charcot
13 Sep '27Cruise overview
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 Spitsbergen, the isolated kingdom of the polar bears and Europe’s largest ice cap. On the way back, eastern Greenland will reveal its majestic fjords, its Inuit traditions and, perhaps, its Northern Lights. A rare odyssey, between frozen silence and the untouched grandeur of the boundaries of the world.

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.
Itinerary
Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen is the biggest settlement in Svalbard. Seat of the Norwegian administration, it also has the best services and infrastructure in the archipelago. Located deep in the Adventfjord, a sidearm of the Isfjorden (Icefjord), Longyearbyen’s airport can be used all-year round, but its harbor is blocked by ice in winter. Most shops, hotels, restaurants and a hospital are within easy walking distance of the port. One of the most prominent buildings in town is the UNIS center, where several Norwegian universities have joined forces to operate and offer the northernmost higher education to both Norwegian and international students. Adjacent to UNIS, and well worth a visit, is the Svalbard Museum, covering the natural history and exploitation of Svalbard. Remnants of the former mining activity can be seen all around Longyearbyen and even in town.
