Ponant's Le Commandant Charcot Cruise Ship Review

"A frozen cove where the ship demonstrated its ice-capabilities by driving into fast ice and coming to rest on a shelf, allowing passengers to disembark via a lowered gangway and be met by local port staff on electric snowmobiles; from this base guests were shuttled ashore in snowmobile-driven aluminum sleds and could take part in guided snowshoe and crampon treks that finished with a dramatic march back across the ice to the vessel." - Paul Brady Paul Brady Paul Brady is the news director at Travel + Leisure and the brand's expert on cruise travel.
