Discover the Tales from a unique scouting trip in Quebec.

For PONANT, the challenge is a serious one: to pave the way for winter exploration cruises in Canada’s Far North. The scouting of Quebec’s St. Lawrence River, led by José Sarica, Director of Research and Development for the PONANT expedition experience, and Émerick Le Mouël, Le Commandant Charcot’s First Marine Officer, marks the start of a new era. By surveying and exploring icy landscapes, and meeting local communities, they have helped create new cruises on board Le Commandant Charcot, the world’s only luxury icebreaker.
From the winter of 2024-2025, our Le Commandant Charcot’s guests will enjoy an exceptional travel experience, where human encounters will sublimate the grandiose landscapes, never before explored in these conditions.
