Welcome to Aurora’s special edition Arctic Women's Expedition: Svalbard & Greenland expedition 

Discover the power of shared adventure on this all-women expedition through the breathtaking landscapes of Svalbard and East Greenland. Designed for women who crave exploration, connection, and inspiration, this special edition voyage brings together a community of like-minded travellers aboard the Sylvia Earle, guided by an all-women Expedition Leadership Team. Cruise among towering icebergs, hike across ancient tundra, and encounter iconic Arctic wildlife, from whales and seabirds to walrus haul outs. Along the way, hear from inspiring female leaders, share stories and laughter, and connect deeply with both nature and each other. Onboard lectures, immersive off-ship activities, and meaningful cultural encounters offer space for learning and reflection. From the volcanic shores of Jan Mayen to the colourful homes of Ittoqqortoormiit, this is a journey into the heart of the Arctic, and the hearts of remarkable women who choose to explore it together. Prepare for an unforgettable voyage of discovery, camaraderie and bold, wild beauty.
