Cassia says

There have been many new expedition ships in recent years but the ingenuity of the Commandant Charcot as a luxurious take on the traditionally very utilitarian icebreaker is quite astounding.

Communal Areas

In addition to sumptuous staterooms, the communal areas of the Commandant Charcot are designed to provide the very best experience an Antarctic voyage can offer. The main lounge hosts a tea corner, a cigar lounge and a bar, where you'll be treated to live music on selected evenings. In the reception area you'll find a boutique selling clothing, jewellery, beauty products, postcards and various accessories and also the photo desk. Soak up the late evening sun at either the open-air bar or with stunning panoramic views from the large bar and lounge.

For further recreation, there is a library, an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, a fitness room, massage rooms, snow room, sauna, nail shop and hairdresser. You can also participate in conferences and presentations in the theatre, fitted with state-of-the-art technology.
