ITINERARY
Day
1 : Reykjavík
Iceland’s
capital stretches along the edge of a vast bay in the west of the
country. Perlan, the “Pearl of
Reykjavík”, a museum located on
’Oskjuhlið hill, offers a panoramic view of the lush,
green landscapes. A little further, one can easily spot the signpost
showing the way to the evangelical Hallgrímskirkja church,
and to the historical centre where one can stroll along the
Skólavördustígur and the Laugavegur, two
lively streets with charming small shops. For some relaxation just
outside of the city, visitors have the opportunity to visit the
Reykjanes peninsula and its famous thermal lagoons of the Blue Lagoon.
Day
2 : At sea aboard Le Commandant Charcot
Spend
exceptional moments sailing aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the
world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel and the first
PC2-class polar cruise ship capable of sailing into the very heart of
the ice, on seas and oceans which the frozen conditions render
inaccessible to ordinary ships. Le Commandant Charcot is fitted with
oceanographic and scientific equipment selected by a committee of
experts. Take advantage of the on-board lectures and opportunities for
discussion with these specialists to learn more about the poles.
Participate in furthering scientific research with PONANT and let us
discover together what these fascinating destinations have yet to
reveal to us.
Day
3 : Exploration of Ittoqqortoormiit Region
On
the East coast of Greenland, in the Ittoqqortoormiit region that is
covered with snow and ice for nine months of the year, you will have
the rare opportunity of immersing yourself in the heart of an isolated
territory and exploring the beauty of its infinite polar whiteness. The
high alpine mountains punctuate the sky and gradually reveal their dark
rock edges beneath a coat of snow. Located at the entrance to the
longest system of fjords in the world, sits the village of
Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the northernmost inhabited places on the East
coast. Its name means ‘great house’ in Greenlandic
and it is home to the last hunters of the polar region, whose ancestral
way of life you will encounter. As soon as the thickness of the ice
floe allows it, the hunters set out on the trail of walruses, seals,
narwhals, musk oxen and polar bears, travelling by traditional dog
sleds. On these expanses of immaculate snow, the silence is broken only
by the sounds of the dogs, the grating of a sled coming back from a run
or of footsteps on the ice. You will discover Inuit traditions through
privileged and festive moments on the ice floe and in the village.
Day
4-5 : Scoresby Sound
Covering
an area of 13,700 km2 (5,290 mi2), Scoresby Sound is the largest and
deepest fjord system in the world. Named after the explorer and whale
hunter William Scoresby, who mapped the region in 1822, it opens onto
the Greenland Sea to the north of the Blosseville Coast. This wild and
desert region offers untouched panoramas of infinite beauty, with high
snow-capped peaks rising tall alongside icebergs immersed in clear,
blue-tinged waters. Discovering these stunning places in the wake of
great explorers like Captain Charcot, who was deeply attached to the
land of the Inuit, inspires a profound reverence.
Day
6-7 : At sea aboard Le Commandant Charcot
Spend
exceptional moments sailing aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the
world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel and the first
PC2-class polar cruise ship capable of sailing into the very heart of
the ice, on seas and oceans which the frozen conditions render
inaccessible to ordinary ships. Le Commandant Charcot is fitted with

Day
8-11 : Exploration of Northeast Greenland National Park
With
a craggy coastline formed by gigantic fjords, magnificent alpine
mountains looming over them, the shores of north-east Greenland offer
breathtaking landscapes and are home to the largest national park in
the world. Covering an area of around one million square kilometres,
almost half the island, the North-East Greenland National Park, a
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is a particularly isolated region. Cut off
for many months of the year by the ice floe, it is renowned for its
pristine nature and rich wildlife.
Day

Day
13-14 : North-West region of Spitsbergen
A
kingdom of contrasts and natural marvels dotted with islands and
peninsulas, northwest Spitsbergen fascinates with its preserved beauty.
On these pristine lands, infinity unveils itself, treating the eyes to
beauty sculpted by nature and enhanced by the changing light. The
fjords bathed by icy waters, the jagged mountains and the imposing
glaciers stand majestically before you, like monumental sculptures. In
these lands, where souls are filled with deep serenity, only the murmur
of broken ice, bearing mysteries and legends, disturbs the calmness.
Aboard our Zodiacs and in the company of naturalist-guides, get as
close as possible to this unique fauna and discover this centre for
scientific expedition departures. In the distance, majestic whales
glide silently through the glacial waters, whereas seals, walrus and
Arctic foxes add a playful touch of life. As Svalbard reindeer wander
the vast expanses, Arctic terns liven up the polar sky with their
gracious flight and polar bears, which you may be lucky enough to see,
patrol magnificently along the icy shores.
Day
15 : Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen
Longyearbyen
is the capital of the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago, located on
Svalbard’s main island, and is the northernmost territorial
capital on the planet. With winter temperatures dropping to below
40°C, the landscapes of this mining town are simply
breathtaking. The glaciers, the mountains stretching as far as the eye
can see and the untouched nature, make you feel like you’re
in completely unexplored territory.
Day
16 : At sea aboard Le Commandant Charcot
Spend
exceptional moments sailing aboard Le Commandant Charcot, the
world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel and the first
PC2-class polar cruise ship capable of sailing into the very heart of
the ice, on seas and oceans which the frozen conditions render

Day
17 : Tromso
In
the north of the Arctic circle you’ll discover
Tromsø, a secluded town located in the county of Troms.
Norwegians call it the “Paris of the north”.
You’ll soon see why when you discover its extensive
neoclassical architectural heritage. A stunning example is the Arctic
cathedral, a major monument whose stylistic purity echoes the outline
of the mountains surrounding the town.
