Denn die Polregionen haben noch viel mehr zu bieten. Weit hinter den Polarkreisen auf 66°... in einer Welt aus Eis und Gletschern in hypnotischen Blaunuancen. Der Umriss eines Pelzes, der plötzlich in einem Schneesturm auftaucht, ein Hundeschlitten, von meisterhafter Hand geführt. Aufgeschreckt von einem neugierigen Eisbären. Das unbeschreibliche Gefühl, mit den Füßen auf dem geographischen Nordpol zu stehen. Das einmalige Erlebnis inmitten einer Kolonie aus tausenden von Kaiserpinguinen. Das Herzklopfen angesichts dieser unberührten Weiten, die noch weniger Menschen betreten haben als den Mond, in die bisher nur einzelne Forscher vorgedrungen sind. Die Le Commandant-Charcot lässt all diese scheinbar unerreichbaren Träume wahr werden. Erstmals können Sie das ultimative Abenteuer erleben. Sie dringen in die entlegensten Regionen der Arktis und der Antarktis vor, in die isoliertesten Gebiete der Welt, und befahren beispiellose Routen. Zum ersten Mal wagen wir uns gemeinsam in dieses Paradies aus Eis vor, dank einmaligen, brandneuen Aktivitäten, die Ihnen auf unseren Expeditionskreuzfahrten angeboten werden. Hundeschlitten, eine unvergessliche Fahrt mit dem Heißluftballon, Tauchen im eisigen Wasser der Polarregionen … Noch nie waren die Ausflüge so außergewöhnlich und so nah an der Natur, noch nie haben sie es ermöglicht, diese endlosen Weiten aus derart unerwarteten Blickwinkeln zu entdecken. Sie haben das seltene Privileg, an Bord eines Luxuskreuzfahrtschiffes zu gehen, das eine neue Art des Reisens prägt und speziell für Polarexpeditionen gebaut wurde. Mit Spitzentechnologien und im Rahmen unseres Engagements für nachhaltigen Tourismus revolutioniert die Le Commandant-Charcot das Kreuzfahrtsegment. Eine Erfahrung, die den Menschen durch ihre Magie verwandelt, in perfektem Einklang mit der Erde... Weit weit weg, ein Abenteuer im ewigen Eis. Le Commandant-Charcot l 3 „Woher kommt die unglaubliche Anziehungskraft der Polarregionen, so mächtig, so faszinierend, dass man nach der Rückkehr nur noch davon träumt, wieder zurückzukehren? Woher kommt der betörende Charme dieser kargen Regionen? Ist es die Freude am Unbekannten, die Aufregung vor dem Kampf und der Anstrengung, um dort hinzugelangen und dort zu leben? Der Stolz, es zu wagen und zu tun, was andere nicht tun? Das süße Gefühl, weit entfernt von den Belanglosigkeiten des Alltags zu sein? Es ist ein bisschen von allem, aber auch noch etwas anderes. Heute habe ich das Gefühl, dass diese Regionen uns in gewisser Art und Weise eine Religion auferlegen. Wer an diesen Ort reist, fühlt, wie sich einem die Seele öffnet.“ Jean-Baptiste Charcot, der „Gentleman der Pole“ 4 l Polar-Expeditionskreuzfahrten Kalender AntarktisABFAHRT REISEVERLAUF NÄCHTE SEITE 1.

Polarkreuzfahrt in die Antarktis von Westen nach Osten Die Antarktis wird erst seit 1820 erforscht.

Auf Ihren Ausflügen können Sie die Tiere in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum sehen: Beobachten Sie Seebären, die sich auf dem Packeis aalen oder im Kielwasser Ihres Schiffes schwimmen, begegnen Sie den Inuit, die im Rhythmus der Jahreszeiten leben, in Einklang mit ihrer typischen Kultur und ihrer Lebensweise, die über die Jahrtausende hinweg unverändert geblieben ist.

SHIMIZU and featuring an exclusive lunch at EDINBURGH ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS Aboard the Deluxe Le Boréal May 12–22, 2019 Le Boréal sailing into London Dear Friends, I’m pleased to invite you to join a small group of like-minded AHS travelers on a rare voyage that combines the pleasures of cruising and private and public garden excursions. The British Isles, Belgium, and Norway in springtime are lovely, verdant places, and this voyage is carefully designed to showcase the very best they have to offer. As we sail from London into the North Sea, we pause along the way to explore the remarkable gardens of both shores. Our first special engagements occur before we even step foot onboard ship. Pre- embarkation, spend the day at Kew Gardens, London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage site with the most diverse collection of living plants in the world. Before transferring to Le Boréal, your five-star vessel that hosts no more than 264 guests, we’ll also visit Chelsea Physic Garden, tucked away in an almost secret location beside the Thames and the oldest botanic garden in London. In other ports, excursions with a focus on gardens, art, and history will be available. From Ostend, you may travel to Bruges or Kesteel van Oostkerke to explore the garden designed by Mien Ruys. Norway’s Stavanger is home to the exotic gardens of Flor og Fjære as well as a fascinating maritime history.

  • Le Commandant-Charcot, the World's First Luxury Polar Exploration Vessel
    THE ULTIMATE EXPLORER Discover the world’s first luxury polar exploration vessel “From where does this strange, powerful and enduring attraction to the polar regions come, such that after returning one forgets the mental and physical fatigue resulting from the expedition and dreams only of returning? From where do these deserted, terrifying lands attain their extraordinary charm? Is it the pleasure of the unknown? The thrill of the struggle and the effort required to reach them and to survive in them? The arrogance of attempting to do something that others do not? The joy of being far away from small-mindedness and meanness? All of these play their role, as does something more. I now consider that these regions leave a kind of reverent mark on a person. Any man who reaches this place feels his spirit soar.” Jean-Baptiste Charcot, the gentleman of the poles 2 l Croisières d’expédition polaire Be the first aboard Le Commandant-Charcot, the world's first luxury polar exploration vessel.

In the space of one week, this Musical Odyssey in the Mediterranean takes in the entire span of Greco-Roman antiquity, and during that week, musicians of the highest international caliber will perform aboard Le Bougainville, our deluxe floating concert hall. The artists featured on the opposite page were each personally invited by Mr. Parloff, who chose them not just for their superb talent, but also for their affable personalities. Exclusively for this voyage, Mr. Parloff has designed four concerts for these musicans to perform, with themes relating to the countries and ports-of-call you will visit, including a concert inspired by Greek myths to correspond with the day in Sifnos; virtuoso showpieces by various Italian composers; and a selection of Sicilianos by composers ranging from the 18th- to the 20th-century which will be performed ashore at Taormina’s medieval Cathedral—an event that promises to be the highlight of the trip! Mr. Parloff himself is a remarkable asset to have as Artistic Director aboard this special musical journey. Principal Flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1977 until his retirement in 2008, he has been heard regularly as recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.

Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits.
