Aurora Expeditions Ships
Antarctica is Aurora Expeditions’ founding destination, and voyages to the White Continent remain central to the company’s expedition program. Our travelers consistently rank Aurora among the top of our list of the best Antarctica cruises and cruise lines.
Aurora Expeditions operates one of the most sophisticated fleets in expedition cruising, with innovative, purpose-built ships carrying approximately 130–154 guests. Each vessel is named for a pioneering explorer or environmental leader and designed for responsible travel in remote polar and coastal regions. Featuring innovative X-Bow technology for smoother, more efficient, and more environmentally conscious sailing, the fleet includes Greg Mortimer (2019), Sylvia Earle (2022), and Douglas Mawson (2025).
