CharcotLe Commandant Charcot

【Nuna Restaurant | Nuna Gastronomic Restaurant】

Nuna (meaning “earth”), located on Deck 5, is the world’s first French fine-dining restaurant at sea created by chef Alain Ducasse. In this polar palace, you will encounter the pinnacle of French culinary art: from the custom-made furniture by Ligne Roset to the famous Bernardaud porcelain, every detail pays tribute to the ultimate elegance. The restaurant has 245 seats, ensuring that all guests on the ship can enjoy the Michelin-level delicacies designed by the Ducasse team in front of the panoramic window at the same time, while observing the real-time ice-breaking rhythm in the bridge command area.

【Sila Restaurant | Sila Panoramic Restaurant】

Sila (meaning “sky”), located on deck 9, brings the polar glaciers into the dining room with a 270-degree view. The restaurant’s atmosphere is bright, sophisticated and full of modernity. It serves a high-end buffet lunch with global flavors during the day, and transforms into a creative themed a la carte restaurant in the evening. Here, the ice floes outside the floor-to-ceiling windows seem to be within reach. You can capture the polar creatures passing by on the sea while enjoying seasonal dishes inspired by the region. Sila perfectly interprets the seamless connection between majestic nature and leisurely luxury on a top-notch cruise.

【Inneq Restaurant | Inneq Open-air Grill】

Inneq (meaning “flame”) is located on the 9th outdoor deck, next to the famous Blue Lagoon heated outdoor swimming pool. As the most distinctive grille restaurant on the ship, it weaves a warm taste net for you in the cold extreme. The restaurant specializes in sophisticated international comfort food, including its signature black truffle Croque Charcot sandwich. Enjoy an open-air feast in the pure air, accompanied by the rising water vapor from the swimming pool. This sensory collision of “extreme cold and heat” is a unique wild luxury experience on the Xiagu.

Main lounge room

For the gentleman who pursues absolute privacy and style, the main lounge on deck 5 is one of the most exclusive hidden corners on the ship. In this club-like space, you can choose your favorite cigars from the collection-grade cigar library, pair them with a glass of aged whiskey, and enjoy a quiet time exclusively for men while breaking the ice. This place is not only a sensory enjoyment, but also a social palace where the elite’s thoughts collide at the end of the world.

Anori The Observatory Lounge

The Anori (meaning “wind”) located at the bow of the 9th deck provides you with a “god-level perspective” overlooking the polar regions. The bright library houses many rare books on polar exploration, and in front of the window, two top-of-the-line Swarovski Optik professional telescopes are waiting for your fingertips, allowing you to clearly freeze seals or birds on the ice floes several kilometers away. In this pure space, you can hold an ancient book and understand the mysteries of nature from the broadest perspective.

Snow Cabin

As the most polar baptism place on the ship, the igloo provides you with the most authentic Scandinavian wellness ceremony. After finishing the warm sauna, step into this space filled with fine white snow. The strong stimulation of alternating hot and cold will instantly activate your blood circulation and awaken every sleeping cell. This is not only a challenge for the brave, but also a polar secret method that deeply rejuvenates the body and mind, allowing you to regain your vitality in the rhythm of ice and snow.

The Spa

Xiaguhao has teamed up with France’s top luxury skin care brand Biologique Recherche and high-end hair care brand Davines to customize a repair trip about polar treasures for you. The products used in the spa have natural and environmentally friendly ingredients, and are designed to provide precise care for the skin’s needs in the harsh polar climate. When the techniques of professional technicians glide over the skin, coupled with the quiet energy from the depths of Antarctica, all the fatigue of exploration will dissipate in the fragrance and the view of the glacier.

Heated Indoor Swimming Pool

The indoor swimming pool on the Xiagu is surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing natural light to pour in, making the polar glaciers feel as if they are within reach. Swimming here is an experience that transcends reality: your fingertips slide through the warm water waves, and in front of you are the blue glaciers that have not melted for thousands of years. The strong contrast between this extremely comfortable body feeling and the extremely pristine natural landscape makes every swim a visual feast that cleanses the body and mind.

Sauna

In the gentle amber wooden space of the sauna, a warmth is slowly soothing every inch of your muscles. This is the highest tribute that the Xiagu ship gives to those who have returned from the expedition. Through the panoramic windows, you can enjoy this deep sense of sweaty tranquility while watching giant ice cubes float past outside. This sensory experience that combines Nordic tradition and polar landscape weaves the gentlest web of warmth for you in the icy wilderness.
