Aurora Expeditions have released some of its expeditions teams’ best kept secrets for free with its new Bucket List e-book.

The book highlights the ideal time to discover wild and pristine destinations or exceptional phenomena each month and includes travel hacks, tips and wondrous wildlife encounters.

The Bucket List book points out a range of some lesser known facts about some of the worlds most iconic destinations. Such as March being the optimal time to see whales in Antarctica, where Aurora is one of the few ships still in the area during this time, enabling travellers to experience the real Antarctica. Meanwhile, April is ideal for a journey through the fabled Panama Canal and is best experienced during a rare daylight crossing to marvel at a man-made waterway.

Many of Aurora Expeditions’ expedition team have been guides with the company for over 10 years – several for over 20 years, with decades of expertise in history, geology, wildlife, oceanography and glaciology, to list a few – each gathering research, expanding their knowledge and collecting a few anecdotes en route.

“Our guides’ invaluable tips, expertise and insights have culminated in this informative and practical guide to expedition travel.”

“Aurora Expeditions’ focus continues to be on education and conservation, our goal is to immerse our expeditioners in some of the world’s most hidden and spell-binding places in a relaxed and fun onboard setting.

“Our highly experienced expedition team will be leading and enriching our passengers while they experience myriad excursions by water and land, with enthralling activities ranging from Zodiac cruises to walks and hikes, sea kayaking, scuba diving, snorkelling, photography, wildlife watching, camping and snowshoeing. All under the guidance of our expedition team, while creating lifelong ambassadors for the planet.”

Those looking to book will receive savings of up to 20 per cent when booking by February 28, 2023 and can read up on attractions across a range of continents in the free e-book.
