Aurora Expeditions Recenzje 

Unfortunately, the latest governmental, provincial, environmental rules do not allow anyone to come within range of any wildlife, so without high powered cameras or binoculars, viewing wildlife was/is extremely difficult.
But, the historical aspect of this cruise and the small ship size - allowing off-ship experiences as historical locations, visits to Inuit villages, ability to interact with the indigenous people, experience their foods was a fantastic experience.
The Expedition Team was FABULOUS!
Everything was great except the food lacked taste.
The wait staff were just not as friendly as we normally experience (Jin and Evans were the exception).
We are not “foodies” but dishes that we thought should have more taste, did not, like Asian food which normally is full of flavor did not. The most popular Oriental food was the “sushi lunch” where they actually had wasabi, pickled ginger and soy sauce!
The pastries were great, but the cookies were just not as sweet as they should have been…after a week of trying them, I gave up.
A 5 star rating on the Expedition Team!!! Ashley made every effort to enable us to do 2 zodiac experiences per day….wonderful presentations on various site specific topics in the lecture theater.
The cabin stewards were great and accompdating.
All in all, it was a great experience!
The only down rating was the food.

Well organised, friendly and cheerful staff who know their stuff (whether Sommeliers, experts on Ancient Greek mythology or head chef’s knowledge of gluten free meal requirements). Can’t fault them. Fabulous places and experiences.

The core of the experience was the expedition director and his team. Howard was a calming force and spoke genuinely, thoughtfully, and confidently about our excursions and activities. What a great way to learn about geology, fauna and flora.

I believe the expectation of seeing wildlife is oversold. The trip generally all about geology which is fantastic but wild life is nigh on non existent.

The whole adventure was fabulous right from when their booking staff got the details through to the drop off in Iceland. All the exhibition leaders very very knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed their jobs and ensuring we had a great trip. They engaged with you at all times and ensured we had a fabulous time.

An incredible Arctic adventure made possible by a dedicated group of amazing people - not only the expedition team (whose knowledge is only surpassed by their obvious love of what they do) but also the ship's captain, crew and hotel staff. This is our second polar expedition with Aurora (the Antarctic last year) and we'd recommend them without hesitation.

We did a 14 day Svalbard and Greenland expedition on the Greg Mortimer. Fantastic trip! The Expedition Team were amazing- so knowledgeable and friendly.
The ship was beautiful and all staff amazing.
Highly recommend. Great casual atmosphere for meals with great food!

Knowledgeable staff who were passionate about their specialty.

Excellent ship, expedition team and hotel/catering team and atmosphere.

Brilliantly organised tour, yet flexible with regard to opportunities; great staff, very friendly and professional; seamless support from all staff. The Arctic trip was all it promised to be.

The best thing about Aurora is the range of excellent people we meet - other passengers, the crew, staff, advisers, experts, local guides, local people.
Another excellent thing is Aurora's flexibility - the ability to alter the itinerary as needed according to the weather, and still provide interesting expeditions ashore.
Finally we specifically select Aurora for the range of Arctic and Antarctic areas visited.

I thought Aurora were brilliant. The ship was really comfortable, the staff extremely friendly (they all knew your name), the expedition staff were really interesting, the food was good and they made the experience of visiting Patagonia magical. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to take an Aurora trip.

The expedition staff was truly amazing. Their knowledge of the Antarctic area, its history, the geology, the expeditions & stations, the sea and land animals was really wonderful. The ships crew was extraordinary in making sure we were well cared for. A very nice feature was the regular announcements of whale sightings and other interesting things as we traveled through the Antarctic oceans. The only downside was we chose to do the ocean kayaking. The experience for my wife and I was great. However, my daughter got partnered with a very inexperienced kayaker who made her adventures very difficult. The expedition crew was not responsive at all to her requests for a change or a solo kayak (which they had plenty of).

Excellent staff, lovely atmosphere,good food. Not to mention the beautiful scenery.

Great ship , extraordinary people, food has a lot of room for improvement .

The people of Aurora made our experience great! It started from the Captain and worked its way right on down to our awesome room attendant, the amazing excursion team, restaurant servers, to the always friendly and helpful ladies working at the Customer Service desk. All the staff were so good and understood great customer service.

The cruise itinerary itself (Antartica) was amazing. My wife and I have never seen so much wildlife up close and personal out on the zodiacs and on land. This was the BEST part of our entire cruise.

With that said, one area that could be improved on is the quality of the meals and snacks. Although this was our first cruise with Aurora, my wife and I have taken well over 30 different cruises on a variety of cruise lines…and considering that this was our most expensive cruise ever (by far), we expected the food on our Aurora cruise to be served hot and to be of much higher quality. Although there was plenty of basic chicken and fish, there was never any lobster, crab, or prime rib and there was only one serving of shrimp during our entire 10 day cruise. We realize “this is a first world problem” but when you are spending thousands of dollars more for a high-end cruise experience, you expect the food quality and food temperatures to be held to the same standard as the rest of of our overall cruise experience.

Catherine Buckland was an amazing leader from setting expectations, communication and ensuring little things occur like having your clothes dried when you experience a leak in your wetsuit. The other guides / staff were also amazing. Being flexible when we saw the Beaked Whales is just an example. People, the best asset to a people oriented service business

Just returned from a fantastic Aurora trip through the UK and France with an itinerary focused on WWII and D-Day. As a history lover, this was a great way to experience Normandy and other destinations like Guernsey I'd normally never get to on my own. We were extremely impressed with all the ship comforts, including a well equipped lecture theatre, gym, bar and spacious cabins. The staff are the real gems of this cruise. They were unbelievably flexible while still placing passenger safety at the upmost importance and did a fantastic job in figuring out ways to get things done. Their extra effort was really appreciated and noticed by everyone onboard. The team was truly what made this journey special for us. We would certainly travel with Aurora Expeditions again and are already looking into another Mediterranean voyage with his company. Highly recommend to anyone considering a small ships cruise.

Our Expedition Leader, Rune Kongsro, made this a most memorable journey through his careful planning and on the fly itinerary changes to make sure we go the most out of our stops based on the weather
