The 10-night Antarctica Peninsula expedition departed on 3 January onboard Ocean Albatros and saw the operator tailor its onboard services and expedition programme to better meet the needs of Muslim travellers.

As the first Singaporean Muslim and Asian woman to lead expeditions to the polar regions, Lim identified an underserved market after seeing how expedition cruises already catered to the needs of other specialist groups.
