Greg Mortimer preview

TO MARK the delivery of its highly anticipated Greg Mortimer polar vessel, Aurora Expeditions has released the first preview images of the ship’s interiors.

Featuring a simple and neutral colour palette, the rooms and spaces on board are designed to maximise the viewing opportunities of the outside world for passengers.

Tomas Tillberg Design & Associates led the interior design of the Greg Mortimer.

“We wanted to ensure we allowed nature to take centre stage on the Greg Mortimer and bring the outdoors into every aspect of the expedition,” said the design company’s Managing Partner Tomas Tillberg.

“Most rooms feature large windows and the ship has ample dedicated viewing areas such as the hydraulic viewing platforms and the observation deck to ensure passengers never miss an impromptu whale sighting.”

The vessel’s maiden voyage departs Ushuaia, Argentina for Antarctica on 31 Oct.
