Come aboard Le Commandant Charcot for an unforgettable voyage.
It’s raining stars in our bed. This sensitive evocation of the Arctic night, which is the title of Scandinavian poetry collection, invites us to the best seats in the house to watch the union between the vault of heaven and the earth’s crust, beneath a multitude of stars. In the delicious comfort of Le Commandant Charcot, experience winter at the gateway to the Arctic, admire the spectacle of the Gulf of Bothnia, between enchanted landscapes and traditions, and from the Stockholm Archipelago discover a magical world in half-light. Experience the period of Kaamos, the polar night, during which luminosity is reduced to a twilight of 4 to 5 hours per day, representing everyday life for the local population
The itinerary may be altered based on port approvals and to comply with applicable government regulations Please also note that the sailing programme, shore visits and activities cannot be guaranteed, as they are subject to weather conditions.
