Invite your clients to take an expedition to the nearly inaccessible Weddell Sea, the kingdom of the emperor penguin, aboard the world’s only luxury icebreaker, Le Commandant Charcot. Unlike most voyages to these remote colonies, PONANT is one of the only travel companies bringing guests to the emperor penguins without the use of helicopters, allowing for more time immersed in this extraordinary environment. Guests can venture out on Zodiac excursions among towering ice cathedrals adrift in the ocean—their cerulean blue halos glowing—as they search for leopard and crabeater seals, humpback whales, and orcas in the company of expert naturalists. Explore the 7th continent through polar hikes for an intimate encounter with its pristine landscapes. Finally, your clients can take the Polar Plunge—a rite of passage for those bold enough to brave the frigid Antarctic waters.
Choose from four departure dates from October-December 2025 and your clients can set sail for the Kingdom of the emperor penguin in the company of our distinguished special guests:
October, November & December, 2025 Guests can hone their photography skills when you travel alongside Photo Ambassadors, Sue Flood or Cindy Miller Hopkins

The discovery captures the imagination of modern-day explorers and reminds us why our onboard scientific work on board Le Commandant Charcot is so critical.
Sailing through the icy, pristine white expanses of the Weddell Sea is a true privilege. Discover the incredible wildlife that inhabits this dynamic polar landscape.
