About Aurora Expedition Ships:
Aurora ships are named after pioneers in exploration, science and conservation. The Greg Mortimer (2019) is named after their co-founder and well-known mountaineer, Greg Mortimer (OAM); while the Sylvia Earle (2022) is named after Dr. Sylvia Earle, world-renowned oceanographer and explorer. Aurora's newest small ship, the Douglas Mawson (2025), honours the legendary Australian geologist and explorer. Built to travel to the outer reaches of our planet and remote, rugged places, their fleet of small expedition ships all feature the ULSTEIN X-Bow®, allowing for faster and smoother sailings, that minimise fuel consumption.
