'Outstanding expedition experience'

He said he was ‘incredibly impressed' with his first trip to Antarctica with Aurora, not just by the awe of the region, but by the company’s ‘outstanding expedition experience’ and highly talented expedition team.

‘It is a privilege to take on the role at such an important time in the businesses’ history and lead Aurora into the future,’ he said.
