Cruises aboard Le Commandant Charcot

From the North Pole to the South Pole, via the sub-Antarctic islands, sail aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the first and only hybrid electric-liquefied natural gas polar exploration ship. This pioneering icebreaker encapsulates an eco-friendly design never before seen in the polar regions. Two research laboratories on board enable scientists to collect data that will increase our knowledge of the poles.
