To the top of the world — with a Hillary on board.

In July 2027, Le Commandant Charcot sails from Reykjavík to Longyearbyen on an 18-day voyage tracing East Greenland's wild fjords before pushing deep into the pack ice toward the Geographic North Pole — 90° North, the point where every line of longitude meets.

Joining as special guest is Peter Hillary: mountaineer, writer and son of Sir Edmund Hillary. Peter made his own first Everest summit in 1990, making him and his father the first father-son pair to reach the top of the world's highest mountain. Since then he's completed the Seven Summits, more than 40 Antarctic expeditions, and chairs the Himalayan Trust — his father's legacy organisation supporting Himalayan communities.

Along the way: the isolated Blosseville Coast, first explored (and lost) by French sailor Jules Poret de Blosseville in 1833. The Ittoqqortoormiit region, home to some of the last hunters of the polar region, still travelling by dog sled. And the slow, shifting light of the ice floe itself — a landscape that changes by the hour.

🌏 Travel deeper. Connect further. Discover the cultures that make our world extraordinary.

When we ask our travellers about their favourite moments from a voyage, one answer comes up time and time again: the people.

The landscapes may take your breath away, but it’s the shared smiles, local stories, traditions and unexpected connections that stay with you long after you return home.

Small ship cruising opens the door to authentic cultural experiences in places larger vessels simply cannot reach. Meet remote communities in the South Pacific, share stories with local guides in Greenland, discover ancient traditions in Japan, explore riverside villages along the Mekong or learn from Indigenous communities in some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.

With smaller groups and more time in each place, every encounter becomes more meaningful.

Because the most rewarding journeys aren’t just about where you go—they’re about who you meet along the way.
