Aurora Expeditions is unveiling its 2026-27 Antarctica season, which includes 27 voyages aboard its three expedition ships.

Cruises will range from nine to 34 days in length and will take place aboard the Greg Mortimer, the Sylvia Earle and the brand new Douglas Mawson.

Travelers will have an opportunity to visit the Antarctic Peninsula, East Antarctica, the Ross Sea, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. 

The company is bringing back several popular itineraries, including “Spirit of Antarctica” and “South Georgia, Falklands & Antarctic Odyssey.” Adventurous travelers can also book the “Antarctica Active: All-Inclusive Activities” trip, which includes camping, snorkeling, snowshoeing, paddling and more.

The 2026-27 season also features new itineraries, including the 10-day “Taste of Antarctica” voyage for time-strapped travelers. Guests can also take advantage of themed, speciality voyages, including a photography expedition, a women’s-only trip and two trips in partnership with New Scientist Discovery Tours.

“Antarctica continues to inspire and captivate explorers from all walks of life, and our 2026-27 season is designed to deepen those connections,” says Michael Heath, chief executive officer of Aurora Expeditions. “With the addition of new itineraries like ‘Taste of Antarctica’ and a dynamic lineup of themed expeditions, including our new Women’s Only Voyage and itineraries in partnership with New Scientist, we are thrilled to offer travelers even more ways to immerse themselves in the beauty, science, and adventure of Antarctica. This season truly reflects our commitment to creating transformative journeys that leave both our travelers and the destinations they visit enriched.”
