27 Oct 2027
Set off on an ultimate quest, the promise of unprecedented encounters in the heart of the mysterious Weddell Sea, the kingdom of ice and polar legends. Endless ice floe, majestic tabular icebergs and immaculate silence make up the landscapes of this pristine world. Emperor penguins live here, these guardians of Antarctica that we see only at the boundaries of these highest latitudes.
In alliance with The Explorers Club, this voyage will feature onboard lectures by marine biologist and penguin specialist Annette Scheffer. An Explorers Club Science Grantee will also be aboard Le Commandant Charcot, utilizing its dedicated laboratories and offering firsthand insights of ongoing research.
Explore the nearly inaccessible Weddell Sea aboard Le Commandant Charcot and search for emperor penguins in surreal polar landscapes.
Unforgettable encounters with unique wildlife (whales, orcas, seals, penguins and other seabirds) in spectacular landscapes (ice floes, glaciers, icebergs).
Activities: outings and shore visits in a rubber dinghy with a team including naturalist guides; kayaking; polar hiking on foot or snowshoes; polar plunge without a wetsuit.
