TRAVEL PROGRAM: cruise to North Pole

Day 1. PARIS, FRANCE - LONGYEARBYEN, SVALBARD

A charter flight from Paris to Longyearbyen, the administrative capital of Svalbard.
Your expedition begins in Longyearbyen. In the afternoon, you will board the icebreaker.

Meals included: Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 2. EXPLORING SVALBARD

From the polar desert to massive glaciers, the landscape here is as diverse as the wildlife. During our cruise around this High Arctic island, the expedition team will do their utmost to maximize shore landings and wildlife sightings. The archipelago offers endless opportunities for photographing pristine landscapes and wildlife. The untouched nature of Svalbard is well-protected and virtually uninhabited by humans. It is one of the best places in the world to observe polar bears in their natural habitat, the Arctic desert.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 3 - 5. BOUND FOR THE NORTH POLE

Enjoy the shifting landscapes of the Arctic Ocean: from an endless, serene icy desert to the frozen fury of multi-meter-high ice ridges and seal-inhabited leads in the ice. The icebreaker will tirelessly make its way toward the top of the world. Ice conditions in the high Arctic are unpredictable, so the journey to our main goal — the North Pole — may take up to 8 days. It is this very unpredictability that fills our expedition with a true sense of adventure.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 6 -7. THE GEOGRAPHIC NORTH POLE

Defined as 90° North latitude, the North Pole lies on the Earth's axis of rotation. This mythical place, perpetually covered by ice and remote from any land, has attracted generations of explorers. Even today, only a handful of travelers have reached the North Pole. This incredible achievement is made possible for you by the icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 8 - 10. SOUTHBOUND

Although the primary goal of our expedition has been achieved, many adventures still lie ahead. Our icebreaker will continue its journey, navigating through ice ridges and vast ice fields. The expedition team will provide fascinating lectures on the Arctic's fauna, history, and geology.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 11 - 12. EXPLORING SVALBARD

We continue our exploration of Svalbard, an archipelago that astounds with its imposing snow-white cliffs, surprises with the history of polar exploration, and delights with its diverse wildlife.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation included: Onboard the icebreaker


Day 13. LONGYEARBYEN, SVALBARD

Packing Recommendations for the Arctic
When selecting clothing and footwear, please consider the specifics of the Arctic region. Temperatures at the northernmost points of the route can drop below freezing. Sometimes, shore landings may not be possible, and the Zodiacs will cruise along the coastline.
To ensure nothing distracts you from the harsh beauty of the northern nature, remember that it can be very windy on the coast, which amplifies the feeling of cold. When on the Zodiac, some splashing is unavoidable even with mild waves, so your clothing must be waterproof and windproof. The primary loss of body heat occurs through the head, hands, and feet—we advise paying special attention to these areas. We also recommend bringing a portable seat (sit pad).
Furthermore, it is crucial to protect your equipment: we advise bringing a waterproof case for shooting in rain and drizzle.


Clothing & Footwear:

• Shoes and clothing for the cities where the cruise begins and ends;
• Waterproof trousers for landings (mandatory!);

• Vest or hoodie;
• Thermal base layer (2 sets);

• Several T-shirts;
• Jeans or other comfortable trousers;
• Sportswear for onboard fitness activities;
• Swimsuit for visiting the onboard SPA and pool;
• Mittens, gloves, and glove liners (2 pairs);
• Warm, windproof hat;
• Warm neck gaiter or scarf;
• Balaclava;
• Warm socks (several pairs);
• Hoba sit pad (optional);
• Sneakers or comfortable boots that will be comfortable onboard
