Order this brochure now.
Aurora Expeditions is offering an amazing lifetime experience of camping overnight in the snow on its Antarctic Peninsula voyage.

The cruise, limited to just 54 people, will depart on 26 November, this year and will offer camping, climbing, kayaking and diving.

Those brave enough to camp out overnight will experience the most magical wake up call of penguins, Gentoos and Adeiles. You may even be almost cuddling up to a seal overnight.

Lisa Bolton, CEO, Aurora Expeditions, said, “There is nothing like the silence you experience here in the remotest part of the globe. Yet this can be broken by the inquisitive penguins and other birds as you awake.

She said, “As it is 24 hours of daylight at this time of the year, don’t forget your sunscreen.”

Other tips for camping in the snow include wearing two pairs of socks, bringing a book and go to the bathroom on the ship before you leave for your camping experience. It’s such a romantic place, its ideal for proposals!

She said, “We have even had the ships captain perform wedding bows, the romantic pull is so strong.”

The Antarctic Peninsula voyage offers you sparkling snow, fast ice and waters teeming with life as they herald the arrival of springtime. You will venture through waters patrolled by orcas and minke whales to find Weddell, crab eater and leopard seals.
