Aurora Expeditions has launched their Beyond Borders Sale with up to 25% discounts and air credits on selected 2026 voyages.
Small-ship adventure just got more enticing for Australians eager to push beyond familiar horizons. Aurora Expeditions, the award-winning Certified B Corp™ that’s been blazing trails in expedition cruising for over thirty years, has unveiled its Beyond Borders Sale. The deal? Up to 25 per cent off select 2026 voyages, plus a generous AU$3,750 air credit per person when booked between 1 October and 31 December 2025.
This isn’t your average cruise sale. The Beyond Borders Sale is a golden ticket to some of the world’s most eye-popping destinations. Think Greenland’s iceberg-dotted fjords. Iceland’s volcanic drama. Or alluringMadrid and Marrakech for the traveller who want a taste of the exotic before or after their polar adventure.
All trips are hosted on Aurora’s purpose-built ships, designed for serious explorers. These vessels are the ticket to remote environments, where the wild things really are, well, wild.
Featured itinerary: Unlock the Artic
In an enticing smorgasbord of adventures, one itinerary stands out. Unlock the Arctic invites expeditioners to sail through Svalbard and Greenland, lands where polar bears prowl and walruses linger. There’s reindeer on the tundra, Arctic foxes making tracks across snowfields, and whales breaching among the ice. Expect expert-led lectures, Zodiac cruises, and the chance to try your hand at kayaking or photography workshops. Every voyage is about meaningful discovery, not just ticking things of bucket lists.
“For over three decades, Aurora Expeditions has been pioneering small-ship journeys into the world’s most remarkable destinations,” says CEO Michael Heath. “The Beyond Borders Sale makes these extraordinary adventures more accessible, while ensuring travellers can explore with purpose.”
Voyage highlights: Go wild in the Arctic to see where the wild things are
Unlock the Arctic itinerary has some exciting inclusions travellers won’t find anywhere else. For example:
- Spitsbergen: Realm of the Ice Bear – Venture deep into the Svalbard archipelago, prime polar bear territory with walruses, Arctic foxes, and reindeer. Soak up endless daylight and pristine Arctic landscapes.
- Svalbard Odyssey – Glide past glaciers, fjords, and pack ice. Keep an eye out for polar bears, seabird colonies, and relics from the golden age of polar exploration.
- Jewels of the Arctic – Tick off Iceland, Greenland, and Svalbard in one epic sweep. Volcanic cliffs, towering icebergs, teeming wildlife.
- Svalbard in Depth – Linger longer in Svalbard’s fjords and pack ice for a closer look at Arctic wildlife and ancient geology.
- Traversing the Northwest Passage – Channel your inner explorer. Navigate ice-choked waterways through the Canadian Arctic and call in on remote communities.
