Le Commandant Charcot

Superbly refined environment, generously sized spaces… Le Commandant Charcot combines sophistication with openness and a warm, friendly atmosphere.

PONANT has brought together the latest available innovations and developed new ones, in order to hoist Le Commandant Charcot , the first hybrid-electric polar exploration vessel powered by liquefied natural gas, at the forefront of more responsible navigation and at the forefront of security guard in polar area.

The art of polar navigation

Le Commandant Charcot is the first passenger ship in the world to have a PC2 polar class hull. It allows him to evolve between the drifting ice floes and to try, when the conditions allow it, to reach the most remote regions in complete safety. The preservation of polar ecosystems and the coastal ice floe, vital habitat for marine fauna, are our priority. Expertise, innovation, humility in the face of Nature, cooperation with local peoples and minimal impact on the environment are the essential key words for responsible exploration.

Pioneer of security in the polar zone

The safety and survival equipment specially developed and designed by PONANT for Le Commandant Charcot (Ice Cube, group survival kit, floating shelters, survival clothing) exceed current criteria established by the tourism industry or the army, advance maritime safety and polar tourism standards and allow international experts to consider new strategies.
