About AE Expeditions

About AE Expeditions

From the start, AE Expeditions (part of 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 AE Expeditions and their immersive, small-ship expeditions and travel experiences to the world’s wild and most remarkable destinations – Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond.
