Explore St Lawrence


EXPLORE THE SAINT LAWRENCE

Le Commandant Charcot is opening up new horizons in unrivalled comfort and invites you to explore the Saint Lawrence.

This river is not accessible to traditional ships in winter, so this exclusive journey lifts the veil on unique great open spaces. You will have opportunities to explore places where nature reigns supreme: boreal forests of immaculate conifers, snow-covered valleys and a sea of ice. Set off to discover this enchanting environment, thanks to winter activities such as hiking or snowshoeing, dog sledding or ice fishing. You may be lucky enough to see typical animals like caribou, elk and black bears in their natural habitat. Meet Quebeckers and the Innu and Micmac peoples in unforgettable get-togethers. These indigenous communities, who include some of the First Nations, will tell you about their stories, legends and ancestral traditions.

Dates: 17 - 29 January 2025

Price from: £17,590 per person. No single supplement
