AURORA EXPEDITIONS’ FIRST AUSTRALIAN SEASON

March 1, 2021/in Holiday /by TEMP_@dm1n

We’re super excited about this renowned expedition cruising company’s first full season of Australian voyages, and early bird savings of up to 20%!

Setting sail in June, Aurora’s destinations include Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, the Kimberley, the Coral Coast, South West Edge, Ningaloo Reef, the Bass Strait Islands and Antarctica—a destination they know very well.

Reserve your spot!

Interested travellers will need to take action promptly as the first step is to complete an expression-of-interest registration.

“The expression of interest will place you in a priority order with a tentative reservation when the new cruise program is pre-released in mid-March 2021, which will include full itineraries, prices and any available early booking offers. A deposit is not required when registering your interest,” says Claire Winnel, Manager of The Cruise & Travel Authority.

Registration closes at 5.00pm AEDT on 9th March 2021.
