ITINERARY
Day
1 : Montreal
Famous
for its gentle way of life, Montreal, Canada’s second-largest
city, is a warm and cosmopolitan metropolis. Situated on the eponymous
river island, it is home to a multitude of districts, each as unique as
the other. Set off to discover Old Montreal, most of which is declared
a historic area, Little Italy, where you’ll be able to stroll
around the largest open-air market in North America, or the Golden
Square Mile, the luxurious district located on one of the hills of
Mount Royal and which has sumptuous Victorian-style residences.
Simultaneously marked by the influences of the Old Continent and
North-American gigantism, Montreal will never cease to amaze you.
Day
2 : Exploring River Saint Lawrence
Linking
the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes region inland, the Saint Lawrence
Seaway was inaugurated in 1959, more than 250 years after the initial
construction aiming to avoid the rapids obstructing navigation in these
parts. This large engineering project, which required four years of
huge work, offers a unique sailing experience.
Day
2 : Sailing Saguenay River
In
the heart of winter, the Saguenay River becomes an enchanting setting.
Aboard Le Commandant Charcot, set sail on a captivating cruise. The
once turbulent waters of the Saguenay are now calm and silent, covered
in a thick layer of ice. The trees lining its shores are wrapped in a
glistening coat of snow, forming a majestic alley. At twilight, when
the sun is setting behind the mountains, pink and gold reflections
light up the horizon, turning the landscape into a bewitching tableau.
Day
3 : Saguenay
The
city of Saguenay nestles in a valley through which flows the eponymous
river, one of the region’s treasures. As it joins the
Saint-Lawrence, the Saguenay River forms a spectacular fjord boasting
extraordinarily differing landscapes. From Saguenay, you can explore
the attractive Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, which is a paradise for
those who love the great outdoors. You can combine country walks with
boat trips within the various national parks studded throughout this
extraordinary natural kingdom.
Day
4 : Exploring River Saint Lawrence
Linking
the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes region inland, the Saint Lawrence
Seaway was inaugurated in 1959, more than 250 years after the initial
construction aiming to avoid the rapids obstructing navigation in these
parts. This large engineering project, which required four years of
huge work, offers a unique sailing experience.
Day
5-6 : Gaspé
In
the glacial darkness of the Canadian winter, Gaspé stands
proud like a preserved and authentic jewel at the edge of the dark
waters of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Nature seems to be holding its
breath. The captivating Mount Jacques-Cartier, the highest point of the
Chic-Choc Mountains range and the South, is dressed with an immaculate
coat of snow, while the frozen rivers slowly wind their way, fixing
time in their icy embrace. During a snowshoe walk, fall in love with
the captivating landscapes of the L’Anse-au-Griffon Valley,
right in the heart of the Forillon National Park. Then, in
Percé, opposite the famous eponymous Rock, dive into the
natural beauty of the “magic forest”, where
thousands of conifers decked out in an immaculate white cloak are like
silent guardians watching over this isolated piece of land. You may
also fall in love with this charming town, where the exciting history
and the conviviality of the locals come together in a delightful blend.
Day
7 : Sailing Saint Lawrence Gulf
In
the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the waters are still partially frozen but
the ice break-up has begun. The broken-up ice makes for a fascinating
spectacle, forming shapes that seem to be dancing across the waves. You
will sail in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, following in the footsteps of
Jacques Cartier, who reached it during his first voyage in 1534. From
the bridge, if luck is on your side, you will contemplate the seals and
belugas that populate the region during this season. In the distance,
the boreal forests, their peaks whitened by the last snow, offer you
the idealised image of this piece of Canada. A moment of indescribable
magic.
Day
8 : Crossing Belle Isle Strait
Sailing
the Strait of Belle Isle will guarantee a moment of intense emotion.
Your ship will enter this waterway, which separates Newfoundland from
the North American continent, while the ice break-up is only just
beginning its cycle. From the bridge, if the ice is still present, you
will perhaps observe the Greenland seals which populate these waters
dotted with fragments of ice floe, aiming to breed there. Time stands
still, a magical spell is cast.
Day
9-10 : 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
11 : Qaqortoq
Follow
the Davis Strait currents and Qaqortoq, the largest town in southern
Greenland, reveals itself in a rocky setting covered in immaculate
white in winter and enchanting green in summer. From the moment your
ship enters the fjord edging the town, off in the distance you will be
able to glimpse the delightful, brightly-coloured houses built upon the
hillsides surrounding this charming fishing port, the most southerly in
Greenland. You will have the opportunity to wander around the streets
of the town centre which have distinct Danish influences and are home
to numerous historical buildings and landmarks, such as the
country’s famous and oldest fountain, topped with whales. Not
far from there, you will also have the chance to discover the
town’s open-air fish market, where fishermen come to sell the
day’s catch.
Day
12 : Narsarsuaq Region
The
Narsarsuaq region is a veritable Arctic jewel, famous for its majestic
landscapes and its historic and cultural treasures. Fall under the
spell of the untamed power of this region’s deep fjords,
between sheer cliffs and impressive summits, during a Zodiac cruise on
the Bredefjord. You will navigate among the icebergs with their
fascinating shapes and blue tones, or set off to explore the
neighbouring island for a total immersion in this grandiose nature. You
will also discover the local history and culture by visiting the
remarkably well-preserved Viking vestiges - evidence of a rich past and
a reminder that they were the first to discover Greenland in 942 (Erik
the Red) - or the charming village of Qassiarsuk, where you will learn
more about the way of life of local communities.
Day
13 : Uunartoq
In
the heart of Greenland's icy waters lies the island of Uunartoq, a
harsh and wild land forged by the constant Arctic winds. Discovered in
2005 by explorer Dennis Schmitt, Uunartoq is an impressive island of
sheer cliffs sculpted by the relentless waves and home to unexpected
natural wonders. An icy mantle covers every part of this austere land,
with the exception of a hidden cove where hot springs defy the
harshness of the Arctic cold. Surrounded by icebergs and drifting
glacial ice, Uunartoq offers an unusual activity: the chance to swim in
a natural pool carved out of the rock. Here, after a polar hike, you
will have the opportunity to shed your winter clothes, immerse yourself
in these relaxing springs and let the warmth soothe each of your
muscles as it envelops your body.
Day
14 : 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
15 : Nuuk
When
Erik Le Rouge, the exiled Norse chief, landed on the coast of Nuuk, he
found a fertile and welcoming land dotted with fjords. He settled there
with a group of his former countrymen, and the Norse remained the
principal inhabitants until, over a period of 500 years, their
population declined and gave way to the Inuit. Nuuk is situated at the
mouth of one of the largest networks of fjords in the world, where the
waters never freeze. The town spreads gently out towards the Davis
Strait and enjoys an historic center that is particularly rich in
national heritage. The vivid reds, blues, greens and yellows of the
houses are a lively contrast to the somber waters of Greenland and
serve to lift the spirits of the locals during the Winter months.
