Aurora Expeditions is now offering children aged six and up the ability to cruise on its expedition voyages, providing an incredibly memorable experience for families. 

The expedition operator is offering savings up to 50% off the Best Available Fare for children aged six to 15 to celebrate the new family-friendly format. 

“Some of life’s most meaningful lessons are learned when we step outside the classroom and experience the world for ourselves,” said Katie Malone, Chief Marketing Officer at Aurora Expeditions. “A child may read about a whale, a glacier or a remote community in a textbook, but seeing and experiencing these places can create a much deeper sense of curiosity, understanding and responsibility.

“By bringing generations together through shared exploration, we hope to create lifelong family memories while inspiring young travelers to care for the extraordinary places, wildlife and cultures they encounter,” said Malone.

Families with children will be able to enjoy Zodiac cruises to spot rare wildlife, expert education with Aurora’s Expedition Team, and meeting with local communities.
