Australia’s award-winning expedition travel company, Aurora Expeditions, has announced that its voyagers now have access to enhanced connectivity following the rollout of Space X’s Starlink aboard two of its purpose-built ships, the Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle.

The complimentary service is now available in all cabins and public spaces aboard these two vessels, allowing passengers to connect with friends and family at home, catch up with the latest news or their work, even in the most remote environments.

“Reliable and high-speed internet connectivity in the cruise industry has traditionally been a challenge, particularly for expedition operators in places like Antarctica and the Arctic,” said Michael Heath, Chief Executive Officer at Aurora Expeditions.

He added that "while our ships are designed to be a comfortable base camp for adventure and we encourage our passengers to get out and explore the natural environment as much as possible, we understand that staying connected is important to them."

"We’re thrilled to continue to offer cutting-edge technological innovations to meet the needs of our expeditions, and we have already received incredibly positive feedback regarding the onboard experience."

A pioneer of experiential travel for over 32 years, Aurora Expeditions offers voyages to some of the wildest and most remote destinations on the planet. Passengers booking their travels before October 31, 2023, will find offers to choose from across dozens of sailings, including air credits and no solo supplements.
