One sure thing however: I\u2019ve always wanted to live close to the sea. After the bac (A-level equivalent) and an intensive foundation degree, I had various options; after passing the competitive exam, I opted for the merchant navy in the end and, once the course began, all my doubts evaporated: I was on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How did your adventure with PONANT begin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Olivier Marien :<span> <\/span><\/strong><span>So, I started my career in the merchant navy. We went from destination to destination, we stopped, we loaded cargo, and we discharged it: travelling the world without really exploring anywhere was frustrating. That\u2019s why I got involved in cruises, first with an American company, then with PONANT, where I discovered polar expeditions. I applied after seeing PONANT\u2019s announcement about building ships such as<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.ponant.com\/le-boreal-bo-2\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Bor\u00e9al<\/a><span>\u00a0: it seems that I had the qualities required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What qualities are needed to be a good ship\u2019s captain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Olivier Marien :<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>Firstly, humility when facing the sea and the other people on board. Then, you have to unite the teams and passengers, manage them and present your vision to them. Finally, you need what\u2019s known as \u201cgood seamanship\u201d: making the right decisions at the right time, in an objective way. It\u2019s not always easy to speak in front of 250 passengers when there\u2019s a change in the programme, but it\u2019s part of the job of captain. It is a lonely profession, paradoxically, where you appear as you really are. You can\u2019t hide your true nature over two months at sea, which is how work is scheduled for a captain with PONANT. They are two very intense months during which the captain is entirely dedicated to his task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u201d4.7.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d background_enable_color=\u201doff\u201d background_enable_image=\u201doff\u201d width=\u201d100%\u201d width_tablet=\u201d\u201d width_phone=\u201d\u201d width_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d max_width=\u201d1000px\u201d module_alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d custom_padding=\u201d||5px||false|false\u201d][et_pb_column type=\u201d4_4\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.7.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d background_enable_color=\u201doff\u201d background_enable_image=\u201doff\u201d background_size=\u201dcontain\u201d][et_pb_image src=\u201dhttps:\/\/escales.ponant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/navigation-officiers-ponant-1200\u00d7700-1.jpg\u201d alt=\u201dnavigation-officiers-ponant-1200\u00d7700\u2033 title_text=\u201dnavigation-officiers-ponant-1200\u00d7700\u2033 align=\u201dcenter\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.7.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u201d4.7.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d max_width=\u201d900px\u201d custom_padding=\u201d0px||0px||true|false\u201d][et_pb_column type=\u201d4_4\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.7.4\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u201d4.7.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d text_font=\u201d||||||||\u201d text_line_height=\u201d1.8em\u201d header_2_font=\u201d|300|||||||\u201d header_2_text_color=\u201d#334556\u2033 header_2_font_size=\u201d38px\u201d header_3_font=\u201d|600|||||||\u201d header_3_text_color=\u201d#307f90\u2033 header_3_font_size=\u201d26px\u201d header_3_line_height=\u201d1.4em\u201d text_orientation=\u201djustified\u201d custom_padding=\u201d0px||40px||false|false\u201d]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are there any trips which have particularly affected you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Olivier Marien :<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>I remember an expedition to Alaska in 2015 in particular, Nicolas Dubreuil and\u00a0<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/escales.ponant.com\/en\/expedition-leader\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Jos\u00e9 Sarica<\/a><span>\u00a0were the expedition leaders.
