Greg Mortimer

The Greg Mortimer was designed by Aurora Expeditions, drawing on centuries of collective experience to create a purpose-built vessel for sailing to the most remote places on Earth. It has redefined expedition cruising for the future, offering the perfect base camp for adventures at the outer limits of human exploration.

Key Features and Guest Experience:

  • The Revolutionary Ulstein X-BOW®: The Greg Mortimer was the first passenger ship to feature the ground-breaking X-BOW®. This inverted bow design allows the ship to cross oceans more comfortably and efficiently by cutting through waves and reducing the pitching motion, resulting in a smoother journey and less fuel consumption.

  • Intimate Capacity & Luxurious Staterooms: The ship accommodates an average of 132 expeditioners across 76 cozy, comfortable cabins. Crucially, all cabins have an ocean view, and an impressive 85% include their own private balcony, allowing guests to enjoy the scenery directly from their room.

  • Expedition-Ready Amenities: The ship is equipped with features essential for deep exploration:

    • Extensive Observation Decks and expansive windows to bring you closer to the environment.

    • Dedicated Zodiac Launching Platforms for fast and efficient deployment of the rigid inflatable boats, maximizing time spent exploring.

    • A Modern Lecture Lounge and multiple communal areas for expert presentations and socialising.

    • Wellness Facilities including a gym, a wellness centre, and outdoor Jacuzzis.

    • A spacious Mudroom for seamless preparation and decontamination of expedition gear.

With its unsurpassed environmental credentials and focus on bringing you closer to the polar and remote regions, the Greg Mortimer offers an unparalleled expedition experience.

Observation Points

Let's face it – you don't want windowless rooms when travelling around some of the most beautiful locations around the world. This is why the Greg Mortimer is designed with plenty of dedicated observation spaces – ideal for keen bird spotters, wildlife watchers and those wanting to watch the scenery go past.

From the indoor 180-degree lounge and outdoor 360-degree open deck, both on deck 8, to the 270-degree open sundeck on level 7, there are plenty of observation points to share around the ship! If these are full, then you can take up a spot on one of the two hydraulic viewing platforms on deck 5.

Elephant Island Bar

Communal meeting areas have always played a major role in fostering the warm camaraderie on board our ships. They are the heart of the expedition, where people meet to share tales from the day, swap photos, keep an eye out for wildlife and watch the sun go down.

The bars and lounges on board are refined yet inviting places to gather, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views, and of course friendly bartenders to shoot the breeze with.

ae expeditions greg mortimer library

Library & Multimedia Centre

With floor-to-ceiling windows, the library is a peaceful sanctuary where you can find non-fiction books to read up on the day’s destinations, plug in and organise your photos or play board games with newfound friends.
