À vivre

In addition to the traditional Zodiac outings, new activities are offered on most upcoming departures.
For example, you can glide by sea kayak between icebergs, or go hiking or snowshoeing. Experienced divers can scuba dive along an iceberg or a drop-off among anemones, soft corals or giant isopods.
In the Arctic, you can set off on dog-sled rides or try ice fishing.
You can also experience hovercraft travel, on land and at sea, to reach areas that are normally difficult, or even impossible, to access. They will drop you at the heart of an extreme world of ice and silence.
