Ponant Explorations

The ship’s 123 suites and staterooms serve as private sanctuaries, each designed to maintain a connection with the spectacular surroundings through private terraces and panoramic views. The Prestige Suites and Owner’s Suite offer the ultimate in polar comfort, with expansive living spaces and premium locations aboard the ship. For families and groups, connecting room options provide comfortable configurations while maintaining privacy. The ship’s layout includes dedicated VIP areas and exclusive spaces, perfect for special celebrations or corporate incentive groups.

While adventure beckons beyond the ship’s PC2 polar-class hull, Le Commandant Charcot offers extraordinary comforts that perfectly complement the day’s explorations. The Blue Lagoon, an outdoor heated pool maintained at a balmy 27-37°C (80-98°F), provides a surreal experience of warm relaxation surrounded by ice and snow. Adjacent to the pool, the Inneq Bar (meaning ‘fire’ in Inuit) welcomes guests with heated chairs and warming drinks, creating an ambiance unlike anywhere else on Earth. The ship’s connection to human creativity is celebrated in an onboard museum featuring some 300 works by more than 40 artists from around the world, offering a cultural journey alongside the physical one.
