Those eager to book their adventure of a lifetime before March 31, 2024, can also enjoy added value savings, with air credits as well as up to 20% off available on select voyages to Antarctica, the Arctic and Beyond. 

“We know travelers are increasingly wanting to embrace spontaneity in their lives, connect more with nature in an authentic way, and tick off their epic travel wish list experiences at the same time,” said Hayley Peacock-Gower, Aurora Expeditions’ Chief Marketing Officer. “Aurora has something for everyone’s bucket list, and there is no time like now to go on that epic adventure you have always dreamed of.” 

Aurora’s bucket list of wild small-ship experiences includes: 

• Step onto the 7th Continent and witness scores of penguins, wildlife and icebergs.
• Go from reef to rainforest in one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
• Discover the unbridled beauty and iconic wildlife of Svalbard with everything from Arctic Fox to Polar Bears.
• Tick Greenland, Svalbard and Iceland off your bucket list in one life-changing expedition.
• Join the fortunate few who have crossed the Antarctic Circle.
• Roam on kayaks amongst towering bird cliffs and ancient caves.
• Embrace the isolation of Antarctica while camping and falling asleep to the sounds of cracking ice.
• Enjoy the best of both worlds: trekking and cruising the wilds of Patagonia.
• Behold the dazzling aurora borealis from the top deck of a small expedition ship. 
• Dare to marvel at Iceland’s thundering waterfalls, lava fields and landscapes shaped by volcanic activity. 

In addition to the e-book, travelers can also take an online quiz to find out which wild expedition is right for them based on their own interests and bucket-lists.
