Aurora Expeditions is an Australian-owned adventure company specialising in small group expedition-style travel to polar regions and other wild and remote places. We offer travellers the chance to have an intimate experience in these regions with its small ships and flexible, innovative itineraries. With a history of pushing the boundaries of expedition travel, Aurora Expeditions is proud to have pioneered a number of activities such as scuba diving and climbing in Antarctica. The majority of voyages now offer adventure options such as mountain climbing, sea kayaking, photography and camping in various locations; while Aurora's expert naturalists, historians, staff and crew help to unlock the wonders of these special places.
Our Approach
Napisane przez firmę

- Pioneering Expedition Travel to the Heart of Nature
- From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Our passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends burns just as brightly as it did 28 years ago, as does our preference for small-group, personal expeditions. Each expedition is accompanied by an expedition team we believe are the world’s best. Remote area specialists, their onboard lectures entertain and expand your knowledge. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another thrilling adventure, our original goals remain unchanged. Explore wild places that stir the soul, offer personal attention on unforgettable expeditions and welcome new friends into the Aurora family.
- Small Groups are Best
- We believe that small groups are best. Unlike larger vessels, our smaller ice-strengthened ships allow us the flexibility to land when the best opportunities present themselves. In turn our passengers can experience nature at its very best; maximising time spent exploring ashore.
- Expert Guides
- Our highly acclaimed expedition specialists are some of the best in the business. Many are recognised world leaders in their fields and enthusiastically share their knowledge to ensure that each moment you spend with us is interesting and educational.
- Flexibility and Freedom
- We stop for breaching whales! Our itineraries are designed with flexibility in mind. If weather or sea ice block our way, we always have a Plan B, C and D! We're always on the look out for new places to explore and we're not afraid to adjust our schedule if we stumble upon an unexpected wildlife display.
- Environmental sensitivity and enrichment
- We helped develop international environmental guidelines for the polar regions we visit, and consciously limit the number of people we take to our destinations. The more our remote area specialists share their knowledge about the natural environments we encounter, the more rewarding your experience.
- Our Spirit of Adventure
- We were the pioneers of some previously unheard of activities such as polar diving, polar kayaking and camping on the ice in Antarctica. Photograph ice-tipped peaks in Patagonia, scuba dive or snorkel amidst glistening icebergs, sea kayak with whales or enjoy a feast of tundra berries. No matter where we are in the world, we encourage a true sense of exploration.
- Our Experience
- It's been more than 25 years since our co-founders, Greg and Margaret Mortimer, first started taking small groups of friends and keen travellers to Antarctica. Aboard small, ice-strengthened vessels, they took groups of intrepid explorers to places that few, if any, had been before, pioneering a long list of 'firsts' along the way.
- Full Service Travel Agency
- We operate an accredited travel agency offering friendly, one-on-one service and deep expertise. We plan comprehensive itineraries that complement our expedition to remote places, so no matter where you’d like to go, we can suggest the best things to see and do to make your expedition even better. So why not add a Patagonia Discovery Trek, take a self-driving tour around Iceland or add a stopover at the mysterious Easter Island?
- Added Extras
- Whether it’s a polar jacket and photo book to keep; flights for our Fly/Sail Antarctic program; pre/post voyage accommodation in South America; or high Arctic activities in Longyearbyen, our inclusions are what most others would consider extras.

Unbelievable,Wonderful Adventure
Unbelievable,Wonderful Adventure - more than lived up to the reputation that preceded it.
A once in a lifetime Antarctic experience. Would highly recommend the Greg Mortimer.
Those who are thinking about - JUST DO IT!!!
Excellent in every way
Excellent in every way: size and comfort of cabins, superb expedition leaders, polite and helpful crew ( cabin staff, waiters), excellent food, size of ship ( only 120 passengers), time of cruise (early November) so we experienced Antarctica at its best. No words to express the awe and wonder that being in Antarctica with massive icebergs and rugged snow covered mountains everywhere instilled in us.
Amazing new ship
Amazing new ship. Friendly and competent crew. Outstanding food. Top equipment for outdoor activities. I can't say enough about this trip. It was an incredible experience.
Once in a Lifetime Experience
I had the opportunity to join Aurora on the maiden voyage of the Greg Mortimer and it was nothing short of spectacular. The cruise and the expedition staff were world class. The new x-bow technology made the drake crossing a breeze. We had crossed in only a day and a half on either end. From start to finish every day was excellent!
Excellent and can be improved
Excellent and can be improved. This was Auroras second expedition on the new ship to Antartica. The crew and program and opportunities were excellent especially for those wanting outdoor off ship experiences. Still a few things that the team were making better. The expedition team, ship crew and leadership were very available, capable, knowledgable and committed. I am highly experienced outdoors in the snow, and found the half day ski touring destinations great however the guiding and gear advice requirements were overly cautious. Highly recommended
The staff and crew were exceptional.
The staff and crew were exceptional. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The staff was friendly and accommodated all our requests. The ship Captain was experienced and deftly handled this incredible ship, the Greg Mortimer on its first journey with passengers. There were a few cosmetic issues with tears on the new chairs but I trust they have been fixed.

A unique experience run by professionals with deep knowledge of the Antarctica

A great trip and one that is rather different to any other travel experience I've ever done. The ships crew were very good as were the team leaders were excellent, but a few of the activity leaders need to lift their game a bit.
The ship was first class as was the food and service.
The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was the time wasting day and night waiting to embark and the slow return journey.
Fun and knowledgable expedition staffs
Fun and knowledgable expedition staffs. I enjoy the small group vibes which gives you opportunity to enjoy Antarctica in serenity. I also enjoy the lecture-filled down time to learn about history of Antarctica and it's supporting wildlife.

One can not give enough accolades to a mind blowing & once in a lifetime experience . A great ship with even better crew . The expo leaders did a great job led by Howard . A special mention to Hillary & Bronwyn . Thoroughly recommended to all .
Best experience ever.
Best experience ever.
It is not every day that you get the chance of a life time, the chance to go to Antarctica, and I am glad that I went with Aurora Expeditions. The crew was so accommodating and very kind. The excursions were beautiful and me and my family enjoyed every second.
Spirit of Antartica: surreal and sublime
I have just completed the Spirit of Antartica cruise on the new Greg Mortimer ship. The expedition leaders and the ship crew were all fantastic and the landings and zodiac cruises were simply amazing! What you see from the ship is just a microcosm of seeing things inland or from a zodiac . I loved the lectures , met some fabulous people and each day brought another surreal almost sublime experience . The cabins were lovely, spotlessly cleaned each day and the food was excellent . I had to ration myself as I think otherwise my waterproof
Pants wouldn’t have done up! .
My tips would be : if you are NOT very mobile you won’t do well trying to get in and out of zodiacs and / or walking in what was sometimes deepish snow. I would book direct with Aurora and look at paying in USD to their account. I was solo and had my own cabin( I luckily picked up a special deal so my supplement was small) and loved being able to almost meditate at the scenery passing in silence . But there are plenty of places to have your space within the ship if you do share . If you get seasick , ( I don’t) pick a lower deck. Avoid the rooms right at the back of deck 4 as the banging in and out of the mud room may annoy you. The privacy screens were missing on deck 4 after
Storm damage and that would be my only annoyance / negative as people
Just walked along outside your window rather than the inside corridor ! Bit awkward if you left your curtains open and were in bed .. If it’s on your list : do it. And I would definitely travel with Aurora again.
Antartica Cruise and the Greg Mortimer
My dad and I just completed our inaugural Antartica Cruise on the Greg Mortimer - a stunning experience!
From my first engagement with the Aurora team at the Travel Expo in Sydney, the support from Matthew and Carley in making real, Howard’s exceptional leadership, Hilary’s inspirational guidance and to the whole crew of the Greg Mortimer - a big thank you for making this special journey with my dad even more memorable!
The comradeship, sharing and emotions created by experiencing the natural wonders of Antartica were significantly enhanced by a simply great ship in the Greg Mortimer.
Trust of ship and captain can never be underestimated - this was clearly on display!
Yes - it may be a bucket list cruise; however the Antartica is more... it’s a very special and inspirational place to connect with the wonders of nature and people! A must do and more than once!
