Step into the extraordinary with a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Antarctica aboard the Sylvia Earle, a state-of-the-art expedition ship named for the legendary oceanographer and conservationist. Each deck honors trailblazing women in environmental leadership — setting the stage for a voyage that’s as meaningful as it is breathtaking.

Created by women and led by women, this small-ship adventure is designed for those who seek purpose, connection, and awe-inspiring experiences. Late summer in Antarctica offers brilliant sunsets, active wildlife, and dramatic ice scapes coming to life as the season shifts.

Expect discovery, reflection, and the kind of camaraderie that only grows from shared wonder in one of Earth’s most remote places.

Full Itinerary

Welcome to Aurora Expeditions’ special edition Antarctic Direct: Fly the Drake Fly/Fly women’s only expedition.
Embark on an Antarctic adventure with like-minded women, sailing on our small-ship expedition vessel, the Sylvia Earle. This vessel pays tribute to Dr. Sylvia Earle, an ambassador to conservation on the planet. In addition, the decks highlight six pioneering women in conservation and their incredible achievements and causes.
We are proud to launch this new voyage, designed by women, led by women, for women. Travelling to Antarctica will open the door to new experiences, perhaps new challenges, and with the Aurora-style of travel, new friendships too.
Late summer is a great time to visit Antarctica, with active wildlife, melting ice, and generally good weather. Skuas, terns and a suite of petrels wheel against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets, as the days shorten, and winter gradually approaches.
