Le Commandant Charcot is a groundbreaking polar expedition ship, combining cutting-edge technology with refined French design. As the world’s first hybrid-electric icebreaker powered by liquefied natural gas, it offers a more responsible way to explore the most remote regions of the Antarctica, without compromising on comfort.
Designed to reach places few ships can access, this Polar Class 2 vessel is capable of navigating deep into ice-filled waters, opening up extraordinary itineraries including journeys to the geographic North Pole.
With capacity for up to 245 guests, the ship maintains an intimate feel while offering an elevated level of space and luxury. All 123 staterooms and suites feature private balconies or terraces, creating a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.
Onboard spaces are elegant and thoughtfully designed, with a theatre, panoramic lounge with library, main lounge and bar, and a wellness area offering spa treatments and relaxation spaces. The pool deck provides a place to unwind while still surrounded by dramatic polar scenery, while multiple observation areas ensure you never miss a moment.
Dining reflects Ponant’s strong culinary heritage, with French-inspired cuisine, international dishes and fine wines served across a choice of restaurants, including a more casual grill option.
