Ponant passengers explore Antarctica.

It is impossible to remain untouched by Antarctica. There is something mystical about this vast continent, something primal, something that takes you straight into the minds of explorers and adventurers and seekers of the unique.

Antarctica is landscapes, soothing and amazing. They’re iceberg fields, those perfect floating works of art. They are glaciers that fall into the cold sea. It’s snow-capped peaks and glassy bays. Antarctica is also wildlife: endless colonies of penguins, schools of whales, soaring seabirds and wallowing seals. And it’s life on board your cruise ship, life that can be comfortable or luxurious, but always interesting, always part of the adventure.

Nothing and nowhere is like Antarctica. And now it’s opening again. The opportunity to visit will return. And what will that hold?

In this episode of Flight of Fancy, Antarctic expedition leader David McGonigal and actor, author and TV personality Andrew Daddo join me to take you on a journey to one of the most remote, unspoilt and amazing destinations on earth. We will discuss exploring Antarctica in the post-pandemic world, how to get there, who to travel with, what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and how to get the most out of your trip.
