“I'll be recommending Aurora Expeditions to anyone thinking of booking a similar trip. Far exceeded all of my expectations. We saw way more of Antarctica than I had expected, and the variety of locations kept things interesting throughout. What an incredible team you’ve put together! Everyone on the ship knew our names within about two days - that made us feel like we were special.“
