AE Expeditions

AE Expeditions (part of Aurora Expeditions) is a pioneer in small-ship adventure travel with over 34 years of experience. As a Certified B Corporation™ and proudly carbon neutral, AE Expeditions is driven by a deep commitment to protecting the planet.

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

With two purpose-built expedition ships - the Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle - and the Douglas Mawson joining our fleet in November 2025, we continue to lead the way in sustainable, experience-rich exploration. Each ship is designed for comfort, safety, and minimal environmental impact, allowing us to access places few others can.

Whether you're venturing into polar regions or exploring remote coastlines, AE Expeditions offers transformative journeys that inspire a deeper connection with the natural world.

Small Ships, Big Adventures.
