Follow in the wake of the pioneers of polar exploration and be among the first people in the world to undertake a transarctic crossing in search of the Geographic North Pole. Set sail aboard your comfortable and stylish vessel, Le Commandant Charcot, from Nome, Alaska across the Beaufort Sea and discover some of the Arctic's secrets during a dedicated research mission at the highest point of the North. This is a unique experience of ice navigation, from the comfort of your sturdy ice-breaker ship, sailing through the heart of the ice floes in the hope of reaching the elusive magnetic and Geographical North Poles, before continuing on to Svalbard. In Svalbard, you will find Europe's largest ice cap in the protected Soraust-Svalbard Nature Reserve.
