Expeditions
Embarking on an expedition is the epitome of pure adventure.
At Aurora, we have pioneered this style of experiential travel for over 33 years – of stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering something new.
Every small ship expedition with Aura Expeditions promises an immersive, enriching and inspirational experience – no matter which corner of the world we explore. Our intimate ship size and friendly on-board environment ensure our passengers will be surrounded by like-minded explorers and friends, travelling in small groups to where few others have ventured, immersing themselves in breathtaking landscapes, and spotting unique wildlife.
And, we take our responsibility to the planet seriously. We are a Certified B Corporation™ and proudly carbon neutral, treading lightly and focusing on responsible travel everywhere we go.
Polar Expeditions
Our Polar Expeditions prioritise the experience over the itinerary, travelling off the beaten path to explore the unexpected each day.
Our purpose-built small ships, as well as Zodiacs and immersive activities, guide you to the uncharted territories that only few have had the privilege to explore.
Encounter enigmatic wildlife, immerse yourself in unparallelled natural beauty and uncover the unknown.
Discovery Expeditions
Discovery Expeditions combine authentic travel experiences, with a spirit of adventure and cultural immersion, in a more structured itinerary guided by local experts.
On these adventures, you can immerse yourself in the heart of nature with a range of diverse excursions and tailored hikes.
At times, we venture off the beaten path, while on other occasions, we explore some of the world’s most extraordinary wonders in more popular locations.
Activities That Put You in the Action
The real adventure happens off-ship. Our expeditions are all about more
opportunities for you to get off-ship
to explore and connect with
the remarkable destinations we go to.
Some activities are included in your expedition, while others are optional and cost extra. There are activity options for everyone, regardless of experience or skill level. How you experience the destination is entirely up to you.
Sea Kayaking
Sea kayaking in the humbling wilderness of Antarctica, the Arctic, and some of the world’s most biodiverse regions, are guaranteed to stir your soul.
Photography
All of our voyages offer an exceptional opportunity for expeditioners to capture some of the wildest and most pristine destinations in the world with expert guidance.
Zodiac Cruising
While our ships are small enough to manoeuvre through the icy waters, sometimes you just want to get up close and personal with some of the sights, which is why we can take you one step further with our Zodiac cruises.
Snorkelling
Through crystal clear waters you’ll discover the amazing
mobility and speed of penguins entering and exiting from the
ice, marvel at beautiful sculpted icebergs below the water
and witness marine life such as crustaceans, isopods,
starfish and nudibranchs!
Camping
Camping offers you the unique opportunity to roll out your sleeping mat and wriggle into your thermal sleeping bag for a night out on the ice – no camping experience necessary!
Guided Hikes
Explore remote and breathtaking landscapes on guided hikes
led by our expert Expedition Team, immersing yourself in the
untouched beauty of our destinations.
*All our landings, adventures and activities are subject to weather conditions, and activity options do vary by itinerary.
