Jewels of the Arctic, Grerg Mortimer

This was the trip of a lifetime. Our final continent. Once we arrived in Punta Arenas, we were met at the airport by Paula from Aurora who took us to hotel. My baggage was lost by airline and she gave me a coat to wear immediately. Shout out to Paula and Michael for tracking my Luggage. Once we transferred to Antarctica we were met by ship crew with drinks and smiles. The week was packed with excursions and amazing information presented by scientists in different aspects of expertise. The ship staff was friendly, personable making the trip an amazing adventure. The fly and cruise is the way to go!

Couldn't be better! This company checks all the boxes: well-planned expeditions, pristine ship, and skilled & courteous service from all the employees. Best cruise company I have traveled with by far. (Copied from Google)

Great line for cruising to Antarctica. Expedition staff were wonderful and very approachable. Ship staff were great. I'm always amazed at how quickly they remember your name and what you like. Rooms and public areas were well maintained and always clean. Activities and landings/excursions were well organized. The small ship meant everyone got to land every time and minimal time was spent waiting for your turn. (Copied from Google)

I had a once in a lifetime experience on the "Antarctic Explorer" expedition. The Greg Mortimer ship was great, our balcony room was super comfortable, and the staff was so accommodating. Aurora Expeditions crew took care of every little detail, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our time in Antarctica. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. (Copied from Google)

Fantastic experience starting with a voyage through the straights of Magellan and a quick trip through Drakes Passage. Best part of the trip was getting up in the morning to see what new sites and adventures were in store for the day. Definitely got out to see more unique locations in Antarctica than I would expect. The expedition staff was a delight to be around and helped get us out to see whales, seals, penguins and fantastic displays of ice. Hotel staff catered to our needs and made us feel welcome, comfortable and somewhat pampered. Always met with a smile and cheerful greeting any time. (copied from Google)

Our trip to south of the Antarctic Circle on the Greg Mortimer was just wonderful. The ship was of a really high quality and well thought out. Each cabin had more sockets, at sensible heights than we needed. The staff were all friendly and professional and we felt that they couldn't do enough for us, yet weren't over weaning. The expedition team under Flo's leadership could not have given us a better experience. They were all so knowledgeable and able to answer any and all questions that we had. We were sea kayaking. Kayaking through brash ice is an experience we will never forget. The team, especially Dan and Frank kept us safe and gave us a wonderful time on the water. The food and drink we of a high standard and, despite having to serve us using a buffet system it all worked efficiently. There was plenty of fresh vegetables every day. Aurora have put in place really effective Covid protocols that made us feel safe. We had thought this was 'the trip of a lifetime' but are now left wondering if we might persuade the bank manager to let us go again. Thank you Aurora (Copied from Google)
