Two expeditions, ‘Photographers: South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula’ and ‘Spirit of Antarctica’, also include free Canon-accredited photography workshops that are designed and delivered by resident award-winning Polar Photography Guide, Joshua Holko. The exclusive and complimentary onboard photography program is open to all levels of photographer, and includes informal talks and image reviews, opportunities for one-on-one instruction and informal side-by-side shooting from the ship deck, in Zodiacs and during shore landings.

There are also opportunities for would-be adventurers to paddle the wildlife-rich waters in sea kayaks, climb Antarctica’s icy slopes, or even camp out overnight like a true Antarctic explorer. All expeditioners will have the chance to revel in daily shore landings, attempt a Polar Plunge, and enjoy unlimited wildlife observation from the ship’s 24 hour Open Bridge.

Aurora Expeditions’ experienced, enthusiastic expedition team accompany passengers every step of the way, along with a selection of certified naturalists, historians, and geologists who are all equally committed to delivering an educationally-rich and life-changing experience.

Each expedition is operated on the 54-passenger, ice-strengthen vessel, Polar Pioneer – one of the smallest ships to sail Antarctic waters. Each expedition is unique due to their flexibility and expeditionary-style, which allows for Zodiac cruises and landings at least twice a day.
