Our Selection of Cruise Lines

Aurora Expedition

This Australian company was founded in 1993 by Greg Mortimer, an Australian geologist and Mount Everest veteran, and adventure travel specialist, Margaret Werner. Before 2019, the company chartered various small ships, but in the latter half of 2019, a new custom-built expedition vessel, Greg Mortimer, started operating.
The Sylvia Earle - the second ship of the fleet, will be joining Aurora Expeditions in October 2021. This is the expedition company to use for Arctic and Antarctica expeditions.

MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises started in 1995 when it acquired the Italian Company Star Lauro. To date, MSC Cruises is owned by a shipping-based family. The ships are suited for families with children, offering a multicultural atmosphere based on the European "way of life" - outdoor Cafés, vibrant and constant activities accompanied by plenty of live music and late nights. MSC is known for the quality of its production shows, especially The Cirque du Soleil at Sea.
