Help your clients venture into the extraordinary and experience the thrill of Arctic exploration in 2024 with Aurora. Featuring multi-destination voyages and experiences in some of the most mesmerizing, remote and remarkable places on the planet. An Arctic expedition on one of Aurora’s two new purpose-built small expedition ships is designed to unleash passengers’ curiosity and deepen their connection with nature.

Awe-inspiring destinations

Offering both ‘expedition’ and ‘discovery’ themed voyages to spectacular Arctic destinations such as Svalbard, Greenland and the Northwest Passage, weather and the potential for wildlife encounters are the primary elements that guide Aurora’s highly skilled onboard expedition team. Passengers on an Aurora voyage are reminded that the itinerary is only a guide, and the ultimate journey is the adventure.

Passengers on Greenland expeditions reveal the beauty of the world’s largest island.  Witness a remote land of ice and snow, offering majestic mountains that pierce the sky, and cruise through fjords with towering rock walls. It is a challenge to fathom the sheer magnificence of the scenery, while also absorbing the rich history of the region. Moreover, your clients will have the opportunity to experience iconic wildlife encounters and connect with remote Inuit communities and immerse yourself in their culture.

Explorations of Svalbard provide intrepid adventurers with an extraordinary chance to venture close to the North Pole, amongst towering bird cliffs, massive glaciers, majestic fjords and one of the world’s largest ice caps.  The territory is also a polar bear habitat, so expeditioners keep a watchful eye out for the elusive polar bear on pack ice whilst being enchanted by other captivating wildlife such as walrus, seals, whales, reindeer, Arctic foxes, guillemots, and puffins.

An expedition through the Northwest Passage presents dramatic cliffs adorned with seabirds, the haunting calls of whales, and the rugged, ice-fractured landscapes that host resilient Inuit communities. This passage serves as a captivating reason to traverse its icy terrain, a journey charged with the palpable echoes of the daring expeditions from the past that carved their path across Arctic Canada.

Several of Aurora’s Arctic itineraries also visit the enchanting landscapes of Iceland. As one of the planet’s most geologically active regions, it showcases erupting volcanoes, icebergs adrift in picturesque fjords, and stunning gorges that cascade with waterfalls. The island’s diverse landscapes are a canvas for rich wildlife, including Arctic foxes, puffins, whales, and seabirds. Beyond its natural wonders, Iceland’s captivating culture and enthralling human history add to its allure.

In essence, Aurora Expeditions’ Arctic 2024 Program offers an unprecedented chance to immerse yourself in the Arctic’s wonders.
