Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another thrilling adventure, our original goals remain unchanged.
Remote area specialists, their onboard lectures entertain and expand your knowledge. You’ll be accompanied by expedition staff we believe are the world’s best. Focus on one destination or combine back-to-back trips for the ultimate adventure. Simply choose the region you’d like to explore, the amount of time you’ve got and what activities you enjoy. We make the most of our size advantage to create intimate expeditions varying in length from 10 to 26 days.
And because we have fewer people to ferry ashore, we often make more landings.
Less people means more solitude and greater flexibility if tides, currents, ice or weather dictate a schedule change. More than two decades later, that pioneering spirit burns just as brightly, as does our preference for small-group, personal expeditions. Their aim was simple - to take small groups of travellers on voyages of discovery to regions that inspired them, thereby creating lifelong ambassadors for the preservation and protection of these sacred places. Co-founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer had a passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends and in 1991, Aurora Expeditions, named in honour of Sir Douglas Mawson's ship, was born. From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different.
