Antarctica 2025-2026 Season Highlights | Aurora Expeditions

Our 2025-2026 Antarctica Season was our biggest season ever. This season marked a defining chapter for Aurora Expeditions—featuring the historic launch of our third purpose-built small ship, Douglas Mawson. Designed for immersive exploration with a lighter footprint. Across 30 voyages spanning the Antarctic Continent, we returned to some of the most remote and rarely visited regions on Earth—from East Antarctica and the Ross Sea to the Subantarctic Islands—alongside a full season of expeditions to the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctic Circle, Weddell Sea, South Georgia, the Falklands and the South Sandwich Islands. This was a season of scale—and of stories. • 819 landings across some of the wildest places on Earth • Expeditioners from 56 nationalities • 269 education and enrichment lectures • 8 immersive activity programs including skiing, scuba diving, snorkelling, snowshoeing, kayaking, trekking and camping • 2,835 polar plunges into icy Antarctic waters • A new world record for the southernmost voyage in history, aboard the Douglas Mawson But beyond the numbers, this season was defined by thousands of moments—once-in-a-lifetime encounters, life-changing experiences, and countless stories shared between like-minded adventurers. Authentic. Immersive. Unforgettable. This is what expedition travel is all about. Ready for your next adventure?
