Southern Antarctic Realms: Antarctic Circle & Weddell Sea

Southern Antarctic Realms: Antarctic Circle & Weddell Sea

  • 17 days
Antarctic adventurers can aim to tick two boxes off their bucket list on this voyage, where you have the opportunity to visit regions in Antarctica that most people will never experience, not even among those who have been to Antarctica – below the Antarctic Circle and attempting to forge a path through the ice in the Weddell Sea. As you venture south on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, passing spectacular, towering cliffs and glittering icebergs, there is a chance you may see Adélie penguins and ice seals such as leopard and crabeater seals resting on ice floes.

In the Weddell Sea on the eastern side of the peninsula, under favourable weather and sea ice conditions, be prepared to encounter an unimaginably spectacular world of icy landscapes. It is here where Otto Nordenskjöld and his men were forced to spend two winters, and also where Ernest Shackleton had to abandon the Endurance, after it became trapped in the ice. It’s an icy realm that few have been fortunate to experience.

Antarctic Explorer: A Culinary Quest

Antarctic Explorer: A Culinary Quest

  • 10 days
Travelling to one of the most remote regions on the planet doesn’t mean sacrificing culinary excellence. Dine on exquisitely prepared dishes crafted from the finest ingredients, served with panoramic views of glaciers, towering icebergs, and wildlife-rich shores. During the height of the Antarctic summer, experience long, sunlit days, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and a journey that delights all the senses! Reduce your time on the high seas by soaring over the Drake Passage with a charter flight back to South America.

South Georgia & Antarctica: Through the Lens

South Georgia & Antarctica: Through the Lens

  • 20 days
This photography expedition is a journey into an environment shaped by time, ice, and the relentless forces of nature. Light behaves differently here, painting surreal pastels across the sky at the fading of the southern summer. Wildlife is unafraid and often curious, offering intimate photographic encounters rarely possible elsewhere. This photography-focused voyage is an exceptional opportunity for all photographers, regardless of experience, to capture some of the wildest and most pristine locations in the world with expert guidance. From the dramatic peaks of South Georgia to the cathedral-like silence of Antarctica’s frozen wilderness, each day offers new compositions, new light, and new stories to tell through the lens.

About Aurora Expeditions

About Aurora Expeditions

From the start, Aurora Expeditions—an award-winning Australian-owned company—was destined to be different. Our passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends burns just as brightly as it did over 33 years ago, as does our preference for small-group, personal expeditions, accompanied by an expedition team we believe are the world’s best.

I'd love to tell you more about Aurora Expeditions and their immersive, small-ship expeditions and travel experiences to the world’s most remarkable destinations.
