Choose from 3 incredible offers on 2023-24 Antarctic expeditions!

Unleash your inner explorer in Antarctica next season with Aurora Expeditions with three incredible limited-time offers across our 2023-24 season of Antarctic voyages.

Embrace your spirit of adventure on a classic expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula, or go where few have gone before as you cross the Antarctic Circle and attempt to venture east into the ice-choked Weddell Sea. Visit the enigmatic Subantarctic Islands – the Falklands~Malvinas, with its fascinating history and spectacular birdlife, and South Georgia, where you will feel dwarfed by the world’s largest king penguin colonies. Whatever expedition you choose, you are certain to have the adventure of a lifetime.

Our purpose-built new ships, the Greg Mortimer and the Sylvia Earle, were designed for discovery, carrying an average of 132 passengers. Travelling in small groups means that, unlike on larger ships, you can join every excursion, with more opportunities to explore the natural environment on shore landings and Zodiac cruises, and more chances to participate in unique activities including kayaking, snorkelling and diving.

Backed by 32 years’ experience, our Expedition Team will encourage you to push your boundaries and help you build a deeper understanding and connection with the white continent’s pristine wilderness.

Book now and enjoy savings of up to 25%* off selected 2023-24 Antarctic expeditions. For a limited time, you can also unlock free air credit on our popular Antarctic Explorer Express. Plus, unlock a Patagonia trek for 50% when combined with eligible voyages!
