Come aboard Le Commandant Charcot for an unforgettable voyage.

Winter is almost over. Although the ice has begun to break up in the, a blanket of white still covers the tops of the conifers that make up the boreal forest. On this cruise in the delicious comfort of Le Commandant Charcot, the cliffs of Gaspé and Forillon National Park hide the mysteries of the hinterland, while the Saguenay enchants with its boreal forests and the Magdalen Islands offer a variety of extraordinary landscapes including drifting ice floes, sandy beaches covered in a blanket of pure white, and towering red sandstone cliffs. On Greenland's frozen south-west coast, the sheer vastness of the landscape stops time as the broken ice takes possession of the land. Here, the colour white reveals its nuances in the drifting icebergs, broken sea ice, majestic fjords and jagged mountains that form the changing landscape.  

We are privileged guests in these extreme lands, where we are at the mercy of the weather and ice conditions. Our commitment to respecting this environment imposes certain rules of conduct. Our navigation, particularly in the fjords, will be determined by the type of ice we encounter; as the coastal ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account each day when charting our itineraries.The sailing programme, shore visits, activities and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions. These experiences are unique and vary from day to day and for each departure. The captain and naturalists will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with all applicable safety and AECO regulations.
