Aurora Expeditions is introducing a new maximum passenger capacity for its cruises to the polar regions.

The cruise line will accommodate a maximum of 130 passengers on its voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic regions as part of its corporate responsibility to protect and preserve the unique and remote environments it travels to, says Aurora CEO, Michael Heath.

The limit applies to the whole fleet, including the Greg Mortimer, the Sylvia Earle and the new Douglas Mawson.

“We are proud to be one of the few companies visiting Antarctica and the Arctic with under 150 passengers,” Heath adds. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to responsible travel and our vision to be the global leader in sustainable expedition travel.” 

Aurora Expeditions is represented by Whitestar Cruise & Travel in the South African market.
