Disko Bay: Meeting the Inuit & Discovering the Unknown
Explore the wild lands of Greenland's south-west coast , where snow covers landscapes of raw and surprising beauty. Aboard Le Commandant Charcot , a state-of-the-art cocoon designed for exploration, you will have access to lands that traditional ships cannot reach . As you sail across Baffin Bay , the ever-changing ice will reveal its secrets, creating a magical spectacle in Disko Bay, where majestic icebergs drift slowly across the dark waters. This spring , you will receive a warm welcome in the Inuit villages , where community members will spend time with you and share their traditions, imbuing your journey with wisdom and intense emotion. We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation, mainly in the fjords, will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the fast ice must be preserved, we will take this into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing programme, outings, activities and observation of fauna cannot be guaranteed and are subject to weather and ice conditions. The experiences are unique and vary from day to day and for each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while respecting safety instructions and regulations imposed by the AECO.
