Life. Changing. Arctic.

The great sweep of the Arctic encompasses the northernmost latitudes on earth. From the incomparable glaciers of Greenland to the captivating geology of Svalbard and the endlessly beguiling volcanic island of Iceland, the Arctic offers unparalleled encounters with the natural world at its most rugged and wild.

On this voyage we stay close to the coastlines of the Arctic Circle, skirting around the Norwegian and Greenland seas, and exploring remote islands and villages of the region.

As night falls, look skywards hoping to catch the spectacular natural phenomenon that offers a surreal light display, with vibrant hues of blue, green, pink and violet dancing across the night sky
Maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights by visiting some of the best places in the world to witness them, including northern Norway, Iceland and Greenland
Hike through iconic Arctic scenery where you will barely see another soul, for example in Iceland’s remote Westfjords

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 34 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 wild and most remarkable destinations – Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond.
