Because preserving polar biodiversity must be the priority of any Arctic voyage, cruises aboard the Commandant Charcot are organized around strict disembarkation protocols. These include the choice of carefully considered itineraries, environmental truemoney data specifications specific to each sensitive area and a code of conduct for travelers. In addition, zero tolerance applies to the impact left after the ship's passage: we leave as we came, without disturbing the fauna and flora, or leaving the slightest trace of our arrival.
Authorities and associations specializing in the regulation of polar tourism also set very precise guidelines. The protocols define, for example, the maximum number of passengers who can disembark simultaneously on a natural site, and the distances to be respected for observing wildlife. Preparatory briefings are systematically given to travelers, to familiarize them with good environmental practices in polar areas. These measures contribute to a more humble and responsible exploration, with a constant concern for cooperation with local peoples and a minimal impact on the environment.

Discover Greenland
Greenland seduces with its contrasts: on one side, the vast white ice and, on the other, the friendliness of a people accustomed to living in extreme conditions. This duality, fascinating in many ways, makes each cruise a human adventure as much as a geographical one. From polar twilight to the midnight sun, from hikes on the ice floes to encounters with whales, from remote Inuit villages to panoramas of legendary fjords, the voyage is a true initiatory journey. So, if you dream of exploring these lands of ice following in the footsteps of Arctic adventurers, if you want to approach majestic icebergs in complete safety, or discover Inuit culture and share the daily life of polar hunters, a cruise to Greenland with Ponant will meet all your wishes.
