Why we like the Charcot cruise ship
- This ship is equipped with hybrid engines using liquefied natural gas, minimising the carbon footprint of your trip
- A strong focus on the expedition with a full programme of landings on each trip
- A great example of the expedition approach is the trip to the Geographical North Pole; this ship is a serious ice breaker
- One of the few ships to sail the full length of the Northwest Passage from Greenland to Nome
- Offers adventure and relaxation in equal measure, with an indoor pool, sauna, spa, and choice of restaurants and bars

Alex says
There have been many new ships in recent years but none come close to the luxury of the Charcot and as a hybrid powered icebreaker it is in a class of its own.
