Aurora Expeditions has launched its 2027–28 Antarctica season with 34 voyages that explore some of the most remote places on Earth. Travelers can journey to Antarctica, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, the Antarctic Circle, Patagonia, and the Weddell Sea. Each route offers a rare chance to see untouched landscapes, dramatic wildlife, and icy wilderness that few people ever experience.
Aurora continues its commitment to small ships and deep immersion in nature. Every voyage gives travelers close access to wildlife, scientific engagement, and expert guidance. The company encourages guests to join citizen-science programs that support real environmental research. These activities give travelers a meaningful way to contribute to global conservation efforts while exploring the polar regions.
New Itineraries Bring Fresh Ways to Explore Antarctica
Aurora has designed four new itineraries for both first-time visitors and repeat explorers. These new routes expand the options available and help travelers tailor their polar adventure.
South Georgia and Antarctica: Landscape and Wildlife Focus
This route highlights the rugged beauty of South Georgia and the icy drama of Antarctica. Travelers capture wildlife moments, vast glaciers, and sweeping coastlines.
Antarctic Feast: Circle in Depth
Food lovers can join this Antarctic Circle voyage that blends adventure with culinary experiences. Travelers enjoy unique menus, cooking sessions, and regional food stories while exploring the icy circle.
Across the Antarctic Circle: Fly the Drake
This itinerary uses a fly-and-cruise model that avoids the rough Drake Passage. The flight allows guests to spend more time exploring Antarctica itself.
Southern Antarctic Realms: Antarctic Circle and Weddell Sea
This voyage offers a rare chance to explore the Weddell Sea. Guests witness thick sea ice, remote ecosystems, and dramatic scenery south of the circle.
These itineraries join Aurora’s popular classic voyages and create a wider selection that suits different interests, travel styles, and adventure goals.
Special Edition Voyages and Early-Booking Savings
For the 2027–28 season, Aurora also offers ten Special Edition voyages. These trips feature experts in fields such as photography, cuisine, film, and science. Guests enjoy workshops, guided sessions, and insider knowledge that enhances the journey.
Travelers who book early can save up to 25 percent. This discount helps guests secure preferred cabins and popular itineraries. With limited spaces on each small ship, early planning ensures the best options.
New Paddling Sessions Add Flexible Adventure
Aurora has added single-session paddling experiences for the new season. Guests who want a short but intimate experience on the water can join guided paddling sessions. These activities allow travelers to get close to glaciers, calm bays, and wildlife from the quiet surface of the water. The sessions make polar exploration more flexible and accessible.
Onboard Expertise Enhances the Journey
In March 2028, Aurora introduces new onboard programs with specialists in photography, filmmaking, science, and the arts. These experts host lectures, workshops, and storytelling sessions. Travelers learn how to capture polar landscapes, understand wildlife behavior, and appreciate the region’s fragile ecosystems.
These expert-led sessions enrich every voyage and deepen the traveler’s connection to Antarctica’s natural world.
