Cruise Description The writer Jørn Riel described the polar night as a “a world apart, […] unique and fascinating, where nature reigns supreme and men keep a low profile.” When the northern winter approaches, the sun hardly rises over the horizon any more: let yourself be guided towards a new temporality, the moment when a long dusk stretches out after the day, until the polar night which will extend until mid-February 2027 in Svalbard. From the delicious comfort of Le Commandant Charcot sailing from the jagged coastlines of Norway to the ice-covered reliefs of Spitsbergen, dive into the heart of landscapes lit by powdered hues and set off in search of the exhilarating spectacle of the Northern Lights and share unique moments, just a stone's throw away from the emblematic North Cape in Lapland, with the Sami, one of Europe’s last indigenous communities.

The itinerary is subject to change based on port approvals and to comply with applicable government regulations.Please also note that the sailing programme, shore visits and activities cannot be guaranteed, as they are subject to weather and ice conditions.
