Ponant Expedition to Peter I Islands
In May 2021, Ponant is launching Le Commandant Charcot, the first electric luxury polar ship that will be able to cut through ice floe up to seven feet thick—meaning it can reach rarely visited places—and will operate off a mix of liquified natural gas and electric battery. While the company is offering several exciting itineraries, one highlight is the expedition beyond the Antarctic Circle to Peter I Island in the Bellingshausen Sea—a destination so remote that more people have actually been on the moon than set foot there. The itinerary will follow the journey first explored by Jean-Baptiste Charcot—who the ship is named after— in 1909. Experiences will include tethered hot air balloon rides, polar diving, and hovercraft excursions.
