In collaboration with The Explorers Club, this unique voyage will feature Sunniva Sorby, a Norwegian-Canadian polar explorer and climate communicator. With deep experience in both polar regions over the past three decades—including a Greenland Icecap crossing and a 19-month overwintering at 78°N—she combines scientific insight with storytelling to inspire connection to the High Arctic. Very few ships are capable of venturing so far into the heart of the Arctic ice. Le Commandant Charcot, a technological marvel designed for polar exploration, is one of them. From late spring onwards, it navigates the waters between the nature reserves of Svalbard and the remote regions of north-east Greenland . Basalt cliffs, glaciers, fjords, a giant ice sheet and drifting ice floes provide a backdrop of breathtaking beauty. As part of your exploration, go hiking or set out in a kayak or inflatable dinghy to observe these pristine landscapes, home to unique and resilient wildlife. It is a rare privilege to be able to follow in the footsteps of three great explorers: Charcot, Victor and Blosseville. Find out more about the world of Le Commandant Charcot here!We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation, mainly in the fjords, will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the fast ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing programme, outings, activities and observation of fauna cannot be guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions. The experiences are unique and vary from day to day and for each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while respecting safety instructions and regulations imposed by the AECOUpcoming departures
