Expedition Cruising for Adventurous travellers.
We are B Corp Certified. For more than 33 years we have been pioneering exploration and adventure and we are deeply committed to travel with a positive impact.
Join us on our immersive and responsible expeditions on new purpose-built small ships to the world’s wildest and most remarkable destinations – Antarctica, the Arctic, and beyond.
Founded by legendary adventurer Greg Mortimer, our expert Expedition Teams have always been about sharing their knowledge and understanding of these incredible wild, remote and unspoiled destinations. Because when you disembark, we want you to be richer in your knowledge and understanding of our planet than you were when you stepped aboard.

Our sustainability commitment.
Since the start, we have embraced a responsibility to inspire, educate and advocate for wild places across the globe, in order to inspire a global community of ambassadors for the planet. Aurora was one of the first operators to become members of both IAATO and AECO, and we are honoured to be a Certified B Corporation™. Not only do we care about reducing our footprint environmentally, we are taking real actions for the care of the planet.
