Is Antarctica really the trip of a lifetime, or just a very cold, very expensive surprise? Five honest truths to know before you commit. Every year, travellers set off for the White Continent expecting postcard views, and every year Antarctica reminds them it plays by its own rules. Rough seas, short landings, noisy penguin colonies and plans that change overnight are all part of the deal. The good news: once you know what's coming, most of it turns from a dealbreaker into the best part of the story. Swan Hellenic Corporate Expedition Leader Anthony Jinman gives a straight answer to the question most first-timers are too polite to ask: is this expedition actually right for me? Watch before you book, and you'll pack the right boots and the right expectations.
