Aurora Expeditions - Greg Mortimer Ship Tour

Aurora Expeditions - Greg Mortimer Ship Tour Join us as we explore amazing Antarctica on one of the newest and most technically advanced expeditions ships sailing, the Greg Mortimer. We will show you everything you need to know about the Greg Mortimer and Aurora Expeditions. A trip to Antarctica is not a pleasure cruise with bingo, Broadway shows, buffets, and Hawaiian shirts, it’s about exploring one of the world’s last frontiers, it’s an adventure and it’s about enriching your life. A trip to Antarctica will undoubtably stick with you forever. Aurora Expeditions understands this better than most other companies travelling to the white continent and they have based their entire company’s philosophy on the environment, learning and enrichment, making sure it is truly the trip of a lifetime for all their guests. Keep in mind that only a very small fraction of the world’s population will ever venture this far south... it's a very exclusive club! We were lucky enough to be able to travel to Antarctica on the unique looking Greg Mortimer - the front of the ship looks a little odd to be honest, but advanced technology always does. This design gives the Greg Mortimer ice breaking capabilities and allows the ship to go faster and sail smoother than a conventional ship, which is vital when you are battling the oceans around Antarctica. On our journey we experienced 4.5 metre waves through the Drake Passage, which the ship handled extremely well, compared to the Russian Ice Breaker I went on in 2019, which made me feel like I was a cork bobbing in the ocean. Days in Antarctica are magical and varied, naturally, depending on the weather. Most days you will get to do a landing ashore as well as take a zodiac adventure, looking for icebergs, seals, and whales. During our cruise, we landed on several small islands filled with cute (...and smelly...) penguins and seals, and another day was a visit to calm bay with two explorers huts for us to see inside and then an easy hill to climb to see the awe-inspiring panoramic view. Zodiac touring is more relaxed as you just rug up, sit down and hold on, and enjoy the ride. We would venture off for a few hours looking for wildlife, exploring around islands, shipwrecks and bays filled with icebergs. The colours of the icebergs are simply awesome, so many different shades of blue and white, especially when the sun hits them... a photographers dream. The zodiac drivers are very experienced expedition team members, all have great passion for Antarctica, sharing their vast knowledge and good humour with everyone. Another great thing about Aurora is that you hop aboard the zodiacs at sea level, meaning its easier, faster, and safer than trying to navigate a staircase into a zodiac with all your gear on, especially when the water is a little choppy. Two of the highlights of the trip for me were, firstly one morning we opened the curtains in our stateroom and saw a whale about 50 metres off the side of the ship, it was amazing and made me smile all day. The second was watching my wife take the polar plunge into the icy waters, she’s a lot braver than I am (yes I’m a coward and hate cold water) and it was thrilling to see her complete such an achievement, I am very proud of her. Being a small expedition ship means that they only take a small number of passengers, so you really get to know each other, sharing stories about the days adventures and wildlife encounters in the bar or lounge at night and forming great bonds as you share this experience together. Overall, our trip with Aurora Expeditions was an amazing experience, one I would happily repeat over and over again! Exploring Antarctica, even for a short trip, is well worth it... do yourself a favour and go! Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe to our channel! Chapters: 0.50. Staterooms 2.45.
