The words ‘trip of a lifetime’ gets used a lot because travel is so absolutely memorable! We often use ‘trip’ however, to describe the whole journey when really it was only a few moments that stood out. Not with Aurora Expeditions, though. They really mean the whole trip, because they’ve jam-packed every expedition with memorable moments. And you can now plan for ‘23/24 Arctic and Global sailings as Aurora has just released their new brochure (psst, with earlybird discounts)!
Aurora Expeditions is an award-winning adventure travel company with over 30 years experience making magic happen in some of the world’s most remote and remarkable places. No unspoiled shore is left undiscovered by Aurora’s passionate, expert Expedition Teams. Their willingness to seek the unknown is unrivalled.
Immersive experiences that wow
Aurora designs voyages with the true spirit of adventure at its core. They connect guests to nature, history, and culture through a wealth of excursions, activities, and hikes. It’s not a challenge to see why every expedition is so memorable.
Passengers aboard an Aurora Expeditions ship will enjoy intimate multi-destination cruises filled with a broad range of experiences. Whether sailing Svalbard, South Georgia, Scotland, or any of Aurora’s other off-the-beaten-track destinations, they get the full-blown immersive experience. It truly connects them to the region.
Aurora’s new Arctic and Beyond 2023-24 brochure reads like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books we all loved as a kid. With 15 Arctic voyages and six global journeys, every choice leads you to an epic adventure from Greenland to Patagonia.
More time off ship
One thing most of us will never want on our adventures is crowds. Sharing is caring, but not for those once-in-a-lifetime journeys.
Thankfully, Aurora Expeditions has an average of 132 like-minded passengers on board. This means, for instance, you’re not missing out on epic activities, like wildlife sightings, spectacular scenery, and learning from the locals. You’re also not spending a lot of time waiting to get out in the nature you’ve waited so long to see.
Aurora is laser-focused on their trips being about the destination, not the ship. More time off ship equal more activities which equals more memories. A win for every passenger.
Purpose-built small ships FTW
Aurora Expedition’s new purpose-built small ships increase comfort on the water and improve accessibility to remote destinations.
Both Aurora’s state-of-the-art, purpose-built expedition small ships – Greg Mortimer (launched in 2019), and their brand-new sister ship Sylvia Earle, (debuting in December!) – have guest enrichment and education at the core of their blueprint.
Creating global advocates
Through their bold itineraries, thoughtfully designed expedition ships, and passionate, knowledgeable crew, Aurora is on a mission to create lifelong ambassadors for the planet. They complement their extensive skills in the expedition arena by inviting special guests aboard to educate and inspire about the natural wonders of the polar regions and beyond.
It’s so much easier to be an advocate for an animal, a plant, and a receding ice cap when you have connected deeply to its place on our fragile planet. Whether it’s a geologist, biologist, conservationist, photographer or any other specialist in their field, what they impart during the Aurora sailing elevates the experience for all passengers aboard.
See the unseen
Aurora Expeditions follow the experience, not the itinerary. If you check out an Aurora sailing, like this cool (literally and figuratively) Svalbard in Depth, you’ll notice the flexibility to follow wildlife sightings, adapt to the weather, and reach undiscovered areas.
Knowledgeable, passionate, and intuitive guides run with the motto “if you want to see something you’ve never seen, you have to go somewhere you’ve never been.” We love it!
New, enhanced and reintroduced
Aurora’s new, enhanced, and reintroduced itineraries include a 15-day Patagonia and Chilean Fjords expedition, a 15-day sailing in Costa Rica and the Panama Canal, plus a 12-day Wild Scotland adventure.
In the Arctic, a fabulous 11-day circumnavigation of Iceland awaits, along with the return of their all-encompassing 17-day Greenland Odyssey.
Polar expeditions in 2024 will cross the Arctic Circle to Svalbard, Spitsbergen and the must-see Northern Lights. Voyages also travel the fabled Northwest Passage, along with Aurora’s immersive expeditions in Antarctica.
To take your trekking to a new level of adventure, why not combine it with an expedition or discovery voyage? You’ll get the benefit of Aurora’s unwavering commitment to the region, and the bonus of more time exploring the best of nature, culture, and sights on foot.
Be on the lookout for the Founder’s Voyage led by acclaimed Australian mountaineer Greg Mortimer, too. This one sells out!
