SHIP DETAILS
Discover all the details about our ship here. From technical specifications to onboard amenities, explore what makes this vessel perfect for your journey.
Drawing on centuries of experience, they designed the Greg Mortimer as a purpose-built vessel for exploring the wildest and most remote places on Earth.
As the first passenger ship to feature the revolutionary Ulstein X-BOW®, it crosses oceans more smoothly and efficiently. Expansive observation decks bring travelers closer to nature, while inviting communal spaces and industry-leading environmental credentials make it the perfect base camp for exploration.
Accommodating up to 130 expeditioners per voyage, the ship offers 76 cozy, ocean-view staterooms—85% with private balconies. It also features a modern lecture lounge, multiple observation areas, a restaurant serving excellent meals, a Wellness Centre, gym, sauna, Jacuzzis, a mudroom, and more, ensuring both comfort and adventure at every turn.
Crossing the notorious Drake Passage or Denmark Strait, their expeditions encounter some of nature’s most intense conditions. The Greg Mortimer, at the forefront of nautical technology, is built to handle the challenge with power, stability, and efficiency.
Used in over 100 commercial vessels, the streamlined Ulstein X-BOW® cuts through the swell for smoother crossings, reducing vibrations and disturbances while improving fuel efficiency. Combined with Rolls Royce dynamic stabilizers, it offers unmatched stability and comfort* on ocean voyages.
*Aurora Expeditions does not claim this will prevent or cure seasickness.
The ship carries 15 Zodiacs, accessible via four dedicated boarding doors for fast, safe, and efficient transfers, minimizing wait times and maximizing time spent exploring.
From kayaking and diving to climbing and ski touring, the Greg Mortimer supports a range of adventure activities. Spacious preparation and loading areas, designed in consultation with expert guides, make transitioning from ship to sea or shore smooth and efficient. Dedicated lockers and rapid-drying areas ensure wetsuits and dry suits are ready for the next excursion.
In addition to onboard observation areas, the ship features unique hydraulic viewing platforms, designed with Greg Mortimer himself. These fold-out platforms provide unobstructed views of marine life and seabirds during calm cruising or when stationary in favorable weather.
The Greg Mortimer was designed with sustainability in mind, operating with low energy consumption, high fuel efficiency, and a streamlined structure that reduces emissions.
The ship also features virtual anchoring technology, which uses GPS, steering, propellers, and thrusters to hold position without damaging the sea floor with conventional anchors.
Equipped with industry-leading safety technology, the Greg Mortimer exceeds the requirements for a ship of its size. Its world-class return-to-port system duplicates propulsion, allowing continued operation in the event of engine failure.
The ship is Ice Class 1A and Polar Code 6 compliant, holds a BV* classification, and fully meets the latest SOLAS safety requirements. A fully stocked medical clinic ensures the highest level of care, even in remote locations.
