AURORA EXPEDITIONS
For more than 33 years, Aurora Expeditions has been taking travellers on amazing adventures to the world’s wild and incredible places.
Founded by legendary Australian adventurer Greg Mortimer and his wife, Margaret Mortimer, both passionate and committed environmentalists, Aurora Expeditions has been a pioneer in discovery and exploration travel.
“Every time we set sail, we’re reminded that our planet has so much to offer – new experiences, cool things to learn, but most importantly, we’re reminded of why it’s crucial to protect all the natural and cultural gems that are part of it,” says Greg.
“Each step we take is carefully considered, with the preservation of our world at the forefront. This ranges from the support we provide to various Citizen Science, research and conservation projects; to our commitment to climate neutrality; to the thoughtful selection of locally sourced ingredients for every meal we serve.”
Aurora Expeditions offers adventures around the globe, each selected for their natural beauty, remarkable biodiversity, geological wonders and fascinating archaeological sites, in Antarctica including Costa Rica, the Arctic, the wild isles of Scotland and the Northern Lights.
Each experience is accompanied by a team of dynamic leaders and explorers, selected for their expertise, passion and understanding of the destinations.
“We take you to off the-beaten-path places to give you a real taste of what our world is all about. As you know, when you’re exploring, it’s not just about what you see, it’s also about how you see it,” says Greg.
Furthermore, Aurora Expedition’s innovative small ships are purposely designed to connect travellers with their surroundings in a meaningful way. The ships have been designed with state-of-the-art technology, and knowledgeable teams have created immersive itineraries that inspire and educate travellers about the world around us.
“When you decide to join us on our journey, you become part of these initiatives, contributing to the preservation of our planet for generations to come.”
