Exploring the remote areas of the world is focus of our next event on Tamborine Mountain.
Do join us on November 14, 5.30pm at Travelling Places to find out more about Australian owned expedition company Aurora who offer Polar expeditions, discovery expeditions and small ship cruises.
Abercrombie & Kent are also joining us and they represent the epitome of luxury travel globally, from the hidden corners of the world to close to home you can join A&K on a private tailored journey designed specifically for you or join in on a small group adventure to explore destinations worldwide.
Having launched their second vessel, the Sylvia Earle last year to join sister vessel the Greg Mortimer and with the Douglas Mawson launching in 2025, Aurora Expeditions has become a highly regarded small ship company specialising in adventures for the more curious traveller.
Discover the world on a small well-designed ship with a maximum of 130 passengers; these vessels offer relaxed, understated comfort that will make you feel at home. With a team of naturalists giving lectures and escorting you on zodiacs to explore the region you are travelling through, these are fascinating expeditions.
Aurora started exploring in Antarctica and quickly grew their destinations to include the Arctic and the North West Passage across the top of Canada.
Just this week I was talking to a client who returned from the North West Passage and their excitement at seeing so many polar bears and visiting small local villages where they were welcomed to understand their local customs and lifestyle.
These clients loved Aurora so much they have booked their next exploration already!
Venture to the Ross Sea and the Australian sub-Antarctic islands.
With the expansion of the fleet, Aurora will be exploring the waters off the British Isles, remote Scotland, small islands and less visited ports of the Mediterranean and the exotic regions of central America – imagine zip lining on Costa Rica or taking a zodiac trip up a river to spot toucans in the wild.
Closer to home discover the islands of Indonesia and Borneo.
Another company to delight travellers, Abercrombie & Kent has been pioneering experiential luxury travel for 60 years.
Explore the world in style – whether you enjoy privately tailored journeys or to join a small group of likeminded travellers to discover a region of the world. With an eye for detail your journey will be crafted to include the very best the region has to offer.
A&K own much of the luxury infrastructure – the Sanctuary lodges throughout Africa, ships on the Nile, and more recently the beautiful Crystal cruise ships.
With a reputation as one of the very best travel companies operating, the most experienced, knowledgeable and experienced guides work for A&K, In the last few years I have taken personal holidays in Morocco Spain and Portugal and the local A&K guides brought these regions to life and gave us an insight into the areas that would be difficult to grasp when travelling independently.
Join us to find out more about the wonderful world of Abercrombie & Kent and Aurora Expeditions.
