Greg Mortimer

The inverted X-BOW hull cuts through waves rather than over them, dramatically reducing pitch and roll in open ocean conditions. On the Drake Passage — the roughest water most guests will ever experience — the difference between a conventional bow and an X-BOW is real, measurable, and felt in the stomach.

Aurora's citizen science programming turns every expedition into a genuine contribution to polar research. Guests work alongside the onboard science team on wildlife counts, ice observations, and environmental data collection that feeds into active ongoing studies.

Greg Mortimer's Zodiac boarding system handles simultaneous multi-bay launches — critical when you've got 132 guests, a narrow weather window, and a colony of penguins that won't wait. Fast, safe, and well-drilled by an expedition team that does this every day.

Greg Mortimer's main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an open, light-filled setting. Menus are globally inspired with an emphasis on quality ingredients — real food for real expedition days, not afterthought catering.

The social and intellectual hub of the Greg Mortimer — part expedition briefing room, part bar, part observation lounge. Floor-to-ceiling windows keep the polar landscape in frame whether you're listening to a glaciologist's lecture or just watching the horizon.

A hot tub on the open deck with 360° polar views sounds exactly as good as it is. The contrast of soaking in warm water while icebergs drift past is one of those Greg Mortimer experiences that nobody forgets — or adequately explains to people back home.

The flagship cabin on Aurora's flagship ship. The Captain's Suite offers the most generous footprint and finest appointments onboard — a proper retreat for the expedition you'll be talking about for years.

The first suite-class cabin on the Greg Mortimer, with a separate lounge area, expanded storage, and premium finishes throughout. A meaningful upgrade in space and comfort for guests who want a proper base after long days on expedition.

A step up in size with a more generous cabin footprint and a larger balcony. The Superior category is ideal for guests who want extra breathing room on longer voyages without stepping into full suite territory.

The entry-level balcony category on the Greg Mortimer — still private outdoor space, still the same Antarctic views, just at the best-value price point in the balcony tier. On a ship this size, there are no bad rooms.

A solid mid-ship balcony stateroom with the same floorplan as Category A at a slightly friendlier price point. Good location, private outdoor space, and a view you won't want to waste on sleeping.

Private balcony, strong ship positioning, and a cabin layout that works well for two. Category A staterooms sit in a prime location on the Greg Mortimer — when the Antarctic Peninsula comes into view, you'll have it to yourself.

Interior cabins for two guests sharing — efficient, comfortable, and priced for travelers who prioritize expedition access over cabin square footage. You'll spend most of your time on deck anyway.

The interior-facing triple-share option, purpose-built for solo travelers who want to join an expedition without paying a single supplement. Three berths in a compact, functional layout — the real square footage is everything happening outside the hull.
