AURORA Expeditions’ new Antarctica 2024/2025 program launches tomorrow, with explorations of the fjords and channels of Chile new for this season.
The program is packed with 25 voyages from nine to 23 days in duration, which in addition to Chile, visits the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia.
In a first for Aurora, new ship Sylvia Earle (CW 23 Feb) will navigate Chile’s maze of waterways, filled with birds and sea life, and surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
The fjords are featured in two itineraries: a 14-day fly/sail Antarctic Explorer voyage, departing 01 Mar 2025, and a 13-day Spirit of Antarctic expedition, departing 13 Mar 2025.
Also new is the ‘In Shackleton’s Footsteps’ cruise, a 20-day epic adventure, departing 16 Mar 2025, which retraces the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917.
The cruise will venture into the Weddell Sea to Elephant Island, the ice-covered, mountainous island where the Expedition reached temporary haven.
The voyage then continues across the Scotia Sea to South Georgia, from where Shackleton was eventually able to arrange the rescue of his men.
Other highlights include the 13-day Spirit of Antarctica dedicated photographic voyage departing 12 Nov 2024.
Travellers will learn secrets, tips, and tricks through informative lectures from Aurora’s professional onboard photographers.
For travellers with less time, or those wishing to limit their exposure to the Drake Passage, Aurora is offering eight fly/sail or sail/fly combinations in Jan and Feb 2025.
Launching along with the new Antarctic program will be an exclusive earlybird offer, with savings of up to 25% available until sold out.
“We just completed a hugely successful 22/23 Antarctic season and our 23/24 Antarctic season is already selling well with several departures almost at capacity,” said APAC Sales Director Steve McLaughlin.
“Our 24/25 Antarctic season is looking like our most adventurous yet.”
Chief Marketing Officer Hayley Peacock-Gower added Aurora’s season offers a unique mix of itineraries, such as returning favourites, new itineraries, and a collection of special themed expeditions.
