Aurora Expeditions Announces Exciting 2027 Small Ship Cruise Season in Australia

Aurora Expeditions, an Australian cruise company, has opened sales for its 2027 small ship cruise season, introducing 21 voyages spanning 22 countries. This new program encompasses a variety of itineraries across the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Atlantic, African coast, Central America (featuring Costa Rica and Panama), Northern Europe, and the UK and Ireland.

The cruises will operate on three vessels: Greg Mortimer, Sylvia Earle, and the yet-to-be-launched Douglas Mawson, which are designed to reach smaller harbors inaccessible to larger ships.

Each voyage will include Master Storytellers, such as historians and art experts, who will provide insights and enrich passengers’ understanding of various destinations. To enhance the travel experience, Aurora offers pre- and post-cruise city stays, along with customized excursions ranging from wine tastings to historical tours.

The upcoming itineraries include visits to UNESCO-listed sites and prominent ports like Dubrovnik and Nice, alongside less-traveled locales such as the Trulli houses of Alberobello, the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, and olive groves in Istria. Noteworthy new routes feature "A Mediterranean Feast" from Valletta to Barcelona, "La Dolce Vita" from Nice to Rome, and "Treasures of the Adriatic" from Valletta to Zagreb. Additional highlights include transiting the Panama Canal, exploring the French and Italian Rivieras, and cruising to Ireland, Portugal, and Northern Europe.

Aurora Expeditions emphasizes the benefits of small ship cruising, including access to smaller ports, immersive experiences with local guides, onboard education with expert lectures, and a more social atmosphere with an average of 130 passengers per voyage. They also plan to offer significant savings on select voyages and have 10 solo staterooms available per sailing without the typical single supplement fee.
