Polar Expeditions
Home > Polar Expeditions
Embarking on an expedition is the epitome of pure adventure.
At Aurora, we have pioneered this style of experiential travel for over 33 years. Our purpose-built small ships, as well as Zodiacs and immersive activities, guide you to the uncharted territories that only few have had the privilege to explore.
Our Polar Expeditions prioritise the experience over the itinerary, travelling off the beaten path to explore the unexpected each day. Every voyage is different, guided by weather conditions, tides, ice and our team’s deep local knowledge. Your Expedition Team will choose the best plan for each day, seeking the optimal experience for everyone on board.
Being flexible yields incredible rewards. We can chase the sun, changing course when there is a polar bear sighting, landing on remote beaches to visit a penguin colony or taking advantage of clear skies to summit a mountain for unbeatable photography opportunities. Your Expedition Team will be by your side the whole time, enriching your experience with fascinating presentations and insights into the remarkable places you visit.
