Aurora Expeditions

Aurora Expeditions prides itself on taking 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. Co-founders Greg & Margaret Mortimer took their passion for adventure and exploring unique locations, and have shared this with the public, through their small-group, personal expeditions. Less people means more solitude and greater flexibility if tides, currents, ice or weather dictate a schedule change.

Explore the world with the very best expedition leaders, learning through their onboard lectures, as you are entertained with their stories.
