Our guests share their stories
“I fell in love with Le Commandant Charcot while sailing in Greenland. The word "exploration" associated with the voyage is particularly well chosen. We knew right away that we were embarking on an extraordinary adventure, led by a team of experts.”
"Setting out to explore the Antarctic continent is both a dream and a rare privilege. It means witnessing nature in all its raw splendor and power, in a place still largely untouched by humankind. To experience it with PONANT is to elevate that dream even further, enjoying this extraordinary adventure in the very best conditions."
"We end the day with the Captain's farewell dinner. Smiles, stories, and shared laughter fill the air. It’s a moment when the bonds formed over the shared ports of call, meals, and adventures take on their full significance. The now familiar faces are no longer just those of mere travel companions, but of kindred spirits, companions of a journey now etched in memory. But above all, it’s the promise of returning once again to a PONANT ship."
