We invite you to join us for a Virtual Expedition Cruise Night Event to learn more about Aurora Expeditions. We will be joined by Bonnie Newman from Aurora Expeditions. Learn more about their life changing expedition experiences to some of the most remote and unspoiled destinations on our planet – Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond.
We will also have information and special pricing for a special expedition cruise for the Svalbard In Depth Expedition that we will be escorting on June 26, 2023 for those who attend our virtual expedition night.
An experience with Aurora Expeditions is life changing. Founded by legendary adventurer Greg Mortimer, their expert expedition teams have been sharing their knowledge and understanding of some of the most remote and unspoiled destinations on our planet – Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond.
For more than 32 years Aurora Expeditions has been pioneering discovery and adventure. They are 100% Climate Neutral and are deeply committed to travel with a positive impact.
An experience with Aurora Expeditions is life changing. Founded by legendary adventurer Greg Mortimer, their expert Expedition Teams have been sharing their knowledge and understanding of some of the most remote and unspoiled destinations on our planet – Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond.
On an Expedition, they follow the experience, so their purpose-built small ships, Zodiacs and immersive activities can take you to undiscovered areas. Because if you want to see something you’ve never seen, you have to go somewhere you’ve never been.
Their Discovery voyages take you to the heart of nature and they are full of adventure as well as history and cultural experiences. Sometimes they go off the beaten path and on others they visit a combination of less discovered and more populated areas.
Because when you disembark, Aurora Expeditions wants you to be richer in your knowledge and understanding of our planet than you were when you stepped aboard.
From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Their passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends burns just as brightly as it did 30 years ago, as does their preference for small-group, personal expeditions.
Each expedition is accompanied by an expedition team Aurora believes are the world’s best. Remote area specialists, their onboard lectures entertain and expand your knowledge.
Whether you’re joining Aurora Expeditions for the first time or returning for another thrilling adventure, the original goals remain unchanged. Explore wild places that stir the soul, offer personal attention on unforgettable expeditions and welcome new friends into the Aurora Expeditions family.
Whether it’s adventure at sea or on land that makes you tick, Aurora Expeditions has a huge range of optional activities to help you make the most of your time in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
They encourage you to make the most of every opportunity to nurture your inner adventurer. You can choose from a range of add-on adventures to make the most of your time in these beautiful places. Aurora has pioneered more adventure activities than any polar expedition cruising company to help you explore in your own way.
Ashore Activities (based on destination):
Aurora Expedition ships are designed to put people in connection with the environment. With expansive observation decks, inviting communal areas, a state-of-the-art lecture room and complimentary access to the gym, sauna and spa, the exploration and discovery continue whether you’re ashore or onboard.
Onboard Activities:
Date: June 26 - July 10, 2023
Ship: Sylvia Earle
We will have exclusive discounted pricing for the June 26th Svalbard in Depth Expedition for our virtual expedition night attendees. This offer is only for our guests who accompany us on this once in a lifetime, exotic expedition.
On this extended exploration of the Svalbard archipelago, there is ample time to enjoy the best of this magical region, a world of near-endless daylight, where polar bear sightings quicken your pulse, guillemot cries echo from towering cliffs, and beluga whales rise from the sea.
With extra time for exploration, we hope to show you some of our favorite places in Svalbard, and perhaps discover some new ones. Unpredictable conditions are expected in wild and remote places such as Svalbard, and with extra time, we can slow the pace of the voyage, linger longer in quiet bays to enjoy wildlife encounters and return to a place that was previously not possible.
Explore tundra adorned with wildflowers, keep watch for arctic fox, and discover historical camps of explorers and hunters. Push through pack ice to find walrus and bearded seals, and delight in the breathtakingly beautiful fjords. We don’t want you to miss out on anything!
