PONANT EXPLORATIONS’ spirit is about those moments of shared awe as we witness the immense forces of nature at play. —Captain Étienne Garcia

PONANT EXPLORATIONS is set to complete a full circumnavigation of Antarctica between January and March of 2028, achieving a new world first. Aboard the Le Commandant Charcot, the expedition will depart from Ushuaia, Argentina, journeying nearly 11,200 miles through remote, uncharted regions of the White Continent. This extraordinary voyage is designed to transport guests back in time to the era of the great polar explorers who unveiled this frozen world. With this journey, PONANT EXPLORATIONS will bridge the past of esteemed explorers with the boundless possibilities of the future.
