Beyond the Antarctic Circle
Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, Ponant's polar-class icebreaker, deep into the White Continent.
View the voyage →Why we love it
Expedition travel takes you to places few people ever see: the Antarctic Peninsula, the pack ice of the High Arctic, remote Pacific islands and the Kimberley coast. Days are shaped by the weather and the wildlife, with Zodiac landings, kayaking and expert talks.
Today's expedition ships are small, well equipped and genuinely luxurious, with fine dining, suites with balconies and expedition teams of naturalists and scientists. We'll help you choose the right ship, season and itinerary.
