Discover a PONANT itinerary at the heart of Ultima Thule, a legendary waypoint for lovers of the polar regions.
From Kangerlussuaq, board L'Austral for a 17-day expedition cruise to the far edges of the planet.
From the ice cap to the pack ice, by way of glaciers, icebergs and brash ice, you will sail through the territory of the Northern Hemisphere's greatest ice producers.
You will reach Skraeling Island (or Pim Island), the northernmost point ever reached by the Vikings, and follow in the footsteps of the famous American Greely expedition.
From the glacier-softened mountains of Greenland's west coast to the rugged peaks of the Arctic Cordillera, by way of the high Arctic tundra of Thule, you will sail among some of the polar regions' most magnificent landscapes.
Polar bears, muskoxen and perhaps white wolves: you will encounter remarkably rich wildlife.
We are privileged guests in these remote lands, where weather, ice, tide and current set the rules. Landings at certain sites and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed and vary from day to day, making every PONANT cruise a unique experience. The captain and expedition leader will do everything possible to make your experience as rewarding as possible, in keeping with safety guidelines and AECO regulations.
