The restaurants onboard Le Commandant Charcot
An essential component of French culture, gastronomy naturally has a place of honour onboard : Le Commandant Charcot hosts the first Alain Ducasse restaurants on a cruise ship.
Fine cuisine
We take care to instil the French 'art of living' even on the other side of the world. We respect the highest standards of cuisine and offer a varied menu, created by our chefs using superior quality ingredients, beautifully presented and flavoursome.
Gastronomy
Faithful to our commitment to spreading the French way of life around the world, we always pay special attention to the meals that we serve throughout the day.
Our talented chefs craft high end menus so you can enjoy the delights of a refined table. They share their passion for premium produce with passengers, enriched with the inspiring flavours from the stopovers that we make.
As we wish to develop sustainable and responsible tourism, we source our food directly from the places we stop at, while committing to respecting the local resources.
The common areas of Le Commandant Charcot
Le Commandant Charcot has spaces that have never been seen before in the PONANT fleet, designed and fitted out to serve all your needs and requirements whilst at the same time preserving the privacy of each passenger. They were designed by two world-renowned French architectural firms: the Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel and Wilmotte & Associés, whose design brief was to create a real connection with the surrounding landscapes. Names derived from Inuit culture to designate natural elements have been attributed to some of them as a reminder of our deep attachment to this fascinating culture.
Good times together
The common areas on board have been designed in great detail to make every moment something special. While the private nature of each of these spaces has been preserved, they have also been laid out to let you enjoy some wonderful times together with other passengers and team members throughout the day.
Leisure and well-being
Our ships* have many spaces designed to offer guests privileged moments of relaxation and comfort.
Because a cruise offers the ideal environment in which to take time for yourself, our ships offer special spaces dedicated to wellness and relaxation.
*As Le Ponant has a different layout due to its smaller size, it cannot accommodate certain equipment.
Wellness area - Deck 7
Please note: There are no designated children's facilities on board.
123 cabins and suites only
Equipped with only 123 cabins and suites, with private balcony or terrace, Le Commandant Charcot remains faithful to the PONANT philosophy: to welcome each passenger in a privileged atmosphere and to reinforce their feeling of traveling on a private yacht. Aft of Decks 6 and 7 are four stunning 94m 2 Duplex Suites with private terraces and jacuzzi. On deck 8, the 115 m 2 shipowner's suite has large bay windows opening onto the breathtaking panoramas and its private 186 m 2 terrace.
