Rebecca says
Make the most of every second when you're in Antarctica. Go to every lecture, citizen science talk, landing and zodiac tour. Even if you think you're not interested in something, such as birdwatching from deck, you might see something else, like a whale!

My top 5 polar moments
- Circumnavigating the remote archipelago of Svalbard in 2013 – spotting your first polar bear is something you’ll never forget
- Travelling on an extended voyage to Antarctica and spectacular South Georgia. The concentration of wildlife makes it a mind-blowing experience
- Expedition cruising to Greenland, with its stunning scenery and glaciers, which gave me even more insight into the different polar regions and vast variety of landscapes and wildlife
- Cruising through Antarctica’s Neumayer Channel and seeing a flash of a black dorsal fin. I rushed outside and got David Attenborough-level views of a pod of around 30 orcas
- Sailing on the 75th cruise ship ever to navigate the fabled Northwest Passage!

More about me
- In 2022, I went to all seven continents in a year
- I love all things Antarctica, the Falklands, South Georgia, the Ross Sea and the South Pole
- As a sports fanatic, I swim every lunch break (in waters nowhere near as cold as Antarctica, thankfully!)
- I lived in New Zealand for three years, making the most of the country’s amazing hiking, skiing and snowboarding
- I spent five years planning tailor-made trips to Europe before getting the chance to visit Antarctica and knew instantly that this was the destination I was most passionate about sharing with other people
