Separately ...
I wonder how the insurance works for such a flight. I am aware that, not too long ago, Antarctic flights used to be operated by aircraft like an old Canadian-operated DC-6 (as in Michael Palin's television programme to Antarctica), which I understood was in significant part because they needed to operate without hull insurance. Have things moved on such that a current and expensive type like the 787 can be run there ?

I know it’s no sign of profitability, but the loads have been pretty good all winter, Orlando and JFK naturally doing better than others it seems, but healthy loads on BGI and MBJ. Whether it’s actually making money or not, well that’s TBC.

Obviously BA, JB & DL offer larger connections across their own and partners networks, Norse working with Spirit should be considering EWR?

The name and branding is still wrong. Most of the travelling public have never heard of Norse. And what use is a Nordic theme when your largest route network is out of London? A livery that is red, white and blue and a more catchy airline name would play to the UK population better. Heck any other colour. The light blue colour is dull. It's what old ladies wear to the Bingo.

NCL was the world's first proper cruise line when it was formed in 1966 and it has been a mainstay of the cruise industry since it's inception.
NCL Holdings are the owners of NCL, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
NCL is the world's fourth largest cruise line by capacity.

I do wonder how ex-UK leisure traffic to the US is performing at the moment? BA seem to be relying more on ex-US leisure traffic. With a weak pound, inflation on both sides of the Atlantic, I suspect the days of the days of the discretionary shopping trip to the US are long gone.
