After a successful resumption of operations to the region earlier this year, Aurora Expeditions will be returning to Antarctica and operating two ships for the first time – its purpose-built vessels, the Greg Mortimer and the new Sylvia Earle. Voyages will be operating from the ports of Ushuaia, Argentina and Punta Arenas, Chile. 

Hayley Peacock-Gower, chief marketing officer of Aurora Expeditions, says travellers may want to try specific activities like camping or alpine trekking early in the season, take advantage of fly/sail itineraries from January, or visit intrepid destinations such as the Weddell Sea on one of the company’s February or March voyages.’
