Exclusive Expeditions
Le Commandant Charcot is the definition of an all-inclusive, luxury expedition vessel. Five-star service on board is a given, whether you are in a suite that offers butler service, or a stateroom with your own private balcony. All meals and drinks on board, complimentary 24-hour room service, and activities such as kayaking, snowshoeing, and the legendary polar plunge are all included. Plus, there are endless ways to relax—sauna, snow room, observation lounge, spa, library, cigar room.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure with Le Commandant Charcot and her unique capability to travel further into the ice so that you can disembark safely and continue your quest into the untouched polar wilderness.

After your day of venturing through the polar wilderness, you can retreat to the unparalleled luxury aboard Le Commandant Charcot. Indulge in world-class amenities, including the exclusive Alain Ducasse restaurant at sea, and rejuvenate in Scandinavian-inspired spa and wellness sanctuaries.
