Wonderful Cruise on a Beautiful Ship

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

After lots of research, my partner and I chose Aurora Expeditions because: 1) ships are small, meaning that there is greater opportunity for off-ship exploration, given the 100-passenger on-shore limit that applies to Antarctic landing sites, 2) ships are X-Bow with effective stabilisers, meaning that the crossing of the Drake Passage is likely to be relatively smooth, 3) it's an Australian ...

After a great deal of research into the many expedition tour operators that go to Antarctica, my friends and I chose Aurora. They have been leading polar expeditions for many years and have two new X-bow ships that offer the latest in safety and comfort.

Presentations were well-researched and ...

Had been to the Antarctic before but wanted to go again as the experience is like none other. It is closest one can get to being on another planet. Once you head south into the Drake Passage - the world as you know it disappears . Replaced by the most amazing scenery (icebergs , glaciers , whales , penguins, seals ...) Went with the Greg as the timing suited me as well as I wanted to ...
