Already well-versed in bringing generous doses of luxury to the Polar regions, Ponant aim to raise the bar even higher with their newest vessel. Le Commandant Charcot has been custom-built to navigate the formidable waters on Antarctica with ease, while showcasing the Ponant group's passion for design and elegance. Two internationally renowned design houses were involved in the project from the very start, and their influence pervades throughout the ship's elegant interiors. Another key focus of this new offering is to expand the activity programme on offer in classic Polar cruising, with innovative features and pioneering new ways to gain a more immersive experience of the Earth's great wildernesses.
