Aurora Expeditions operates three purpose-built small ships designed around expedition access and time in the field. Their X-BOW hulls, observation areas, mudrooms and Zodiac boarding points support travel in remote environments, while expert teams lead the programme ashore. Alongside polar expeditions, the fleet also operates selected small-ship discovery voyages in warmer regions.

More time in the field
The ships are arranged to move guests efficiently between onboard spaces and activities ashore. Zodiac cruising, landings and walking are central to many departures, with kayaking, snorkelling, diving and other specialist activities offered on selected voyages. Expedition teams provide briefings and interpretation, while daily plans can change with weather, wildlife and local conditions.
THE Destinations
Polar regions and further afield
Antarctica and the Arctic remain central to Aurora's programme, including Svalbard, Greenland and the Northwest Passage. Current seasons also extend to Scotland, the Mediterranean, Costa Rica, Indonesia and Borneo. The mix of polar expeditions and small-ship discovery voyages broadens the route map without changing the fleet's emphasis on active exploration.
