Aussie-owned cruise company Aurora Expeditions is getting ready to launch a unique new domestic travel program from June.

For the first time in the company’s history, it will offer a full season of immersive, adventurous and off-the-beaten-track voyages around Australia and Antarctica.

With 23 years of experience operating Australian expeditions, and 30 years’ experience operating in the polar regions, Aurora’s activity-heavy voyages will explore the very best of Australia’s breathtaking coastlines, unique wilderness and wildlife, rich Indigenous history and spectacular marine world.

Destinations include Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, the Kimberley, the Coral Coast, Antarctica (featuring the Ross Sea and Commonwealth Bay), South West Edge, Ningaloo Reef and the Bass Strait Islands.

“Our highly experienced Australian team has crafted exceptional voyages of discovery and will deliver once-in-a-lifetime adventures as well as an unrivalled array of immersive activities by sea, land and air to our passionate expeditioners.”

More information will be available on the specific itineraries, activities, expedition dates and early-bird discounts on Thursday when expressions of interest will open to the public. Bookings will open on Thursday 11 March 2021.
