Our guests share their stories
"I was captivated by Le Commandant Charcot during a navigation in Greenland. The word 'exploration associated' with it is particularly well chosen: we knew right away that we were embarking on an extraordinary adventure, led by a team of experts."
"To discover a part of the Antarctic continent is a dream and a privilege that few people can achieve. It is being able to contemplate Nature in all its splendour and strength, in a place still preserved from Man. Being able to do it with PONANT means accessing an even more unique experience, in the best conditions."
"We end the day with the Captain's farewell dinner. Smiles, anecdotes and shared laughter fill the air. It is the time when the bonds that have been woven throughout the shared stops, meals and activities become truly significant. The faces, now familiar, are no longer just those of fellow travellers, but of temporary friends, souls with whom memories have been created. But above all, it is the promise to return once again to a PONANT ship."
