Aurora aims to be first to cruise the northern reaches of East Greenland
Australia’s Aurora Expeditions aims to explore Greenland’s northernmost tip when the 120-passenger Greg Mortimer departs Reykjavik, Iceland, on August 15.
The 14-day ‘East Greenland Explorer’ will sail to Germania Land and on to Kronprins Christian Land in northeast Greenland, a location not frequented by expedition cruises.
Pushing boundaries
Chief Marketing Officer Hayley Peacock-Gower said the company prides itself on pushing boundaries of discovery to provide unique, immersive experiences for its expeditioners, while maintaining a light footprint.
Peacock-Gower said she is inviting passengers to be part of a trailblazing voyage where the itinerary is driven by nature and Aurora’s genuine spirit of exploration.
Dogsled patrol
The voyage will depend on the weather and ice conditions, but it is planned to head north towards Kronprins Christian Land, the home of the world’s only military dogsled patrol — the Sirius Patrol of Northeast Greenland National Park.
