Arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital city. Embarkation is in the late afternoon for an early evening departure. Take some time to explore the city, visit the historical centre or perhaps enjoy the famous thermal pools at the Blue Lagoon.

During your day at sea, make the most of the many services and activities on board. Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation in the spa or perhaps be tempted by the swimming pool. Enjoy lectures by your onboard experts, or take in the scenery on deck.

This uninhabited territory, which bears the name of the French explorer and sailor who discovered this region, lies to the south of Scoresby Sund. Surrounded by ice, icebegs and pieces of pack ice, Blosseville Coast is one of these wild and hard-to-reach places that very few people are lucky enough to explore.

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.

Set sail for North-East Greenland to immerse yourself further and up higher in the Arctic region to explore the unexpected riches of the sea ice, where traditional ships cannot travel at this time of the year. As the light shifts and the moods of the sky change, the different states of the ice and the infinite diversity of its textures create an exceptionally stunning tableau. With patience and humility, you will sail amid the pearl-white floating cathedrals and the ice carried by the Transpolar Drift. En route, icebergs have their journey halted by ice and pressure ridges reveal their sharp edges. In the midst of this icy vastness, beauty is found in the detail and the magic of the moment.

Blosseville Coast is a wild and distant place to which very few people have access. Exploring it means a slow immersion into the heart of a frozen, almost unreal desert, where the variations in light transform one’s perception of the landscape. In the kingdom of the polar bears, Le Commandant Charcot, a silent ship open to the exterior, will offer exceptional moments observing Arctic wildlife, through a series of encounters.

Make the most of the many services and activities on board today. Perhaps you'll visit the upper deck to admire the spectacle of waves and perhaps be lucky enough to observe marine species.

Arrive in Reykjavik in the early morning and disembark for your return flight home.
