Le Commandant-Charcot is the first luxury icebreaker. A hybrid electric deep polar exploration ship, capable of taking passengers to the edges of the earth in an eco-responsible way.
Le Commandant Charcot - Icebreaker
Meet Le Commandant-Charcot, the world's first luxury icebreaker, taking guests to the most southern and northern latitudes of the planet in unrivalled comfort. Aboard Le Commandant-Charcot, guests will experience brand new itineraries in regions usually inaccessible to other expedition ships because of the ice conditions. This includes voyages to the geographic north pole, the eastern coast of Greenland, the Northwest Passage, the Ross Sea, Weddell Sea and the Charcot and Peter I Islands.
Accomodating 270 guests in 135 staterooms, including 31 balcony suites, the luxury icebreaker Le Commandant-Charcot offers an intimate yet refined atmosphere. You will find outstanding gastronomy in the two on board restaurants and great opportunities to relax in the indoor pool, winter garden or the wellness area with sauna and 'Snow Room'.
For outdoor exploration there are 16 zodiacs to bring all guests ashore, as well as kayaks and equipment for snowmobile rides, fishing and hicking activities on land.
Powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and hybrid propulsion, Le Commandant-Charcot has been designed to minimise the environmental impact, which marks it for sustainable and responsible tourism.
The ship is designed by two internationally renowned design and architecture firms to be in harmony with the environment. The approach is contemporary with the desire to create a warm and elegant setting; stone, wood and leather recall the natural environment in which the ship is sailing.

Our emphasis is on exploring new sites and pristine landscapes, visiting sites of historical interest, the occasional visit to scientific stations and of course unique wildlife encounters! If conditions permit, we will visit the emperor penguins at Snow Hill Island.
A half-circumnavigation of the Antarctic, an unprecedented voyage into the heart of this icy continent full of extremes.
Travelling south at the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Your icebreaker will take you to one of the most inaccessible places in the world, the North Pole!
Cruising along Greenland’s remote northeast coast, home to the largest fjord system in the world, you’ll discover diverse and dramatically rugged landscapes rich in iconic arctic wildlife.
In Winter, this “roof of the world” is transformed into a majestic white desert; whilst in Summer, for a few short weeks, the temperature rises enough for the ice to melt.
