Ponant Explorations, which has been cheerfully venturing into places most of us prefer to admire from documentaries for more than 25 years, has opened bookings for its 2027–2028 Antarctic season. The program includes 28 voyages to the bottom of the world, a region notable for its beauty, its wildlife, and its complete indifference to human comfort. These expeditions promise immersive encounters with some of the planet’s most remote and uncompromising latitudes, where maps thin out and ice takes over.
