Aurora Expeditions
About Aurora Expeditions:
From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Co-founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer had a passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends and in 1991, Aurora Expeditions, named in honour of Sir Douglas Mawson’s ship, was born.
Their aim was simple – to take small groups of travellers on voyages of discovery to regions that inspired them, thereby creating lifelong ambassadors for the preservation and protection of these sacred places. More than two decades later, that pioneering spirit burns just as brightly, as does their preference for small-group, personal expeditions.
Less people means more solitude and greater flexibility if tides, currents, ice or weather dictate a schedule change. And because they have fewer people to ferry ashore, they often make more landings.
With the revolutionary ULSTEIN X-BOW® to cross oceans more comfortably, expansive observation decks, inviting communal areas and unsurpassed environmental credentials, their ships offer the perfect base camp for adventures at the outer limits of human exploration.
The ULSTEIN X-BOW® is an inverted bow design that has been used on over 100 vessels in commercial shipping industry, and they are excited to have the first passenger vessels to incorporate this innovative marine technology. The bow cuts through the swell so you feel fewer vibrations, make quicker transits through sea passages and helps reduce fuel consumption. This, in combination with Rolls Royce dynamic stabilisers offers unrivalled stability and comfort on ocean crossings.
