Aurora’s First Women-Only Cruise of the Antarctic
Aurora Expeditions is proud to launch this new voyage, designed by women, led by women, for women. Travelling to Antarctica will open the door to new experiences, perhaps new challenges, and with the Aurora-style of travel, new friendships too.
Late summer is a great time to visit Antarctica, with active wildlife, melting ice, and generally good weather. Skuas, terns and a suite of petrels wheel against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets, as the days shorten, and winter gradually approaches.
This expedition is crafted for adventurous women who share a passion for exploration and a desire to connect with like-minded travellers. Aboard Sylvia Earle, you’ll find a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to forge friendships and create lasting bonds.
Highlights
- Observe the wildlife of Antarctica, with penguin chicks developing their adult plumage and learning to swim, leopard seals and orcas patrolling the waters, and increasing numbers of whales preparing for migration
- Enjoy a range of excursion options for all levels and interests, from leisurely walks to strenuous hikes, Zodiac cruises and additional water-based activities, such as kayaking
- Soar over the Drake Passage, with our charter flights between Chile and Antarctica
- Celebrate women in conservation on board our Sylvia Earle expedition ship, with fellow female travellers
