Le Commandant Charcot

LA COMPAGNIE DU PONANT

A boat out of the ordinary. The Commandant Charcot is a high polar exploration ship of the Compagnie du Ponant designed in partnership with Jean-Michel Wilmotte. All the decoration is in adequacy with the environment which surrounds it: the natural materials are honoured. The shapes are fluid, in keeping with a maritime signature. Its pure lines and luxurious interiors make it an exceptional ship, in harmony with the territories it explores.

Working for a boat is already the beginning of a journey, it's like dreaming of an elsewhere and including an additional poetry in the realization of an already exceptional project.
