Our second trip with Aurora having been to Antarctica 2 years ago on the Greg Mortimer. I thought the Greg Mortimer was a fantastic ship but the differences on the Sylvia Earle take it to a different level. Having the large library and citizen science centre at the bow was visionary and the second restaurant was a bonus.The expeditions team were extremely hard working and Howard and Ashley were instrumental in sorting out our itinerary when it became apparent we had no chance of landing anywhere along the east coast of Greenland due to the exceptionally large amount of ice off the coast at this time of year.It all worked out and we had excellent sightings of whales and got into places no other ship had managed all season.The “hotel” and restaurant staff were amazing, accommodating and friendly. We have already booked our third expedition on board the Greg Mortimer going to the NW passage in September 2025.A very memorable trip!
