AE Expeditions

AE Expeditions (part of Aurora Expeditions) is a pioneer in small-ship adventure travel with over 35 years of experience. We are proudly B Corp certified and driven by a deep commitment to protecting the planet for future generations.

Our immersive, expertly curated voyages take travellers to some of the world’s wildest places, offering more time off ship, enriching science programs, and unforgettable adventures. Our world-leading activity program is designed to bring you closer to the action and to nature through guided hikes, kayaking, snorkelling, diving, photography, and more – all led by passionate experts in their field.

Leading the way in sustainable exploration, our fleet of three purpose-built expedition ships, the Greg Mortimer, Sylvia Earle and Douglas Mawson, has been designed to maximise comfort and safety while minimising environmental impact. This enables us to deliver experience-rich exploration in places few others can reach.

Whether you're venturing into the polar regions or exploring remote coastlines, each voyage is more than a holiday, it’s a journey that changes you. It’s about forging deeper connections: to the planet, to your fellow travellers, and to yourself. It’s about treading lightly, exploring boldly, and returning home with a renewed sense of wonder.

Small Ships, Big Adventures.
