With over 18 years of experience in the travel industry, Neil has ventured to some of the most remarkable and diverse destinations around the globe. However, one destination stands out above all others for him: Antarctica.

"Antarctica holds a special place in my heart," Neil explains. "It's as if you're stepping onto another planet. The landscape is an endless expanse of white, a pristine wilderness that is untouched and untamed. The sheer scale and beauty of the icebergs, the silence broken only by the distant crack of ice, it’s awe-inspiring. But what makes Antarctica truly unique is the wildlife. The penguins, seals, and even the occasional whale are incredibly curious. They approach us with a sense of wonder, almost as if they are just as fascinated by us as we are by them."

I always joked I was 'solar powered' and allergic to snow, preferring the tropics over the mountains but Antarctica changed that for me and it's certainly somewhere like nowhere else on earth.

Despite my sunny past, I eagerly seized the chance to visit Antarctica on Ponant’s Le Soleal. The journey, from seamless boarding to thrilling encounters with wildlife and dramatic ice landscapes, left me deeply enchanted. Highlights included zodiac cruising, observing diverse wildlife, and experiencing exceptional hospitality. As our Expedition Leader noted, "You haven’t done Antarctica. You have lived just a little bit of it." Now, returning to Antarctica tops my bucket list.

Tomasa's travel wishlist is long... but on the top of the list is voyaging to the Arctic (having been to Antarctica recently she would like to compare polar experiences), in January 2019 Tomasa travelled to Antarctica which "was an amazing opportunity and it has just made me want to experience more of the world on a expedition ship.
