Aurora Expeditions is an Australian-owned adventure cruise company specialising in small group voyages to Antarctica, Arctic and other wild, remote destinations such as Russian Coast, Papua New Guinea and the Kimberley Coast. We offer passengers an intimate experience of the destination, with the support of expert staff and flexible, innovative itineraries. The small numbers on the vessels allow passengers to visit outside the reach of conventional ships, while Zodiacs allow for up close exploration.

Deeply committed to education and preservation of the environment, Aurora Expeditions’ philosophy is to respectfully visit these wilderness areas in turn creating ambassadors for their protection.

Having pioneered a number of adventure activities in remote destinations, Aurora Expeditions offers an extensive program of activities including mountain climbing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, camping and photography on selected voyages.  All voyages are run under the guidance of experienced expedition staff, expert naturalists, historians and crew, who give illustrated lectures on board and are on hand to answer your questions. Your security, well-being, enjoyment and understanding of the region are their priorities.

So come and unlock the secrets of mysterious Russia; see your first polar bear sighting in the European Arctic; Zodiac around icebergs looking for penguins and seals in Antarctica or witness ancient rock art along the Kimberley Coast. Aurora Expeditions voyages will stir the soul, push the boundaries of adventure travel and deliver personal attention on unforgettable expeditions.
