AURORA Expeditions has confirmed an order for a second new ship, which is expected to join the Greg Mortimer for the 2020/21 cruising season.
Speaking at the Travel IQ conference in Sydney yesterday, Aurora MD Robert Halfpenny confirmed there had been huge interest in the Greg Mortimer which will undertake its maiden voyage on 31 Oct 2019.
He confirmed the 2019/20 season was already almost sold out, saying the strong demand for the unique vessel confirmed the need for additional capacity.
Halfpenny wasn’t able to confirm delivery dates for the second ship, which will be a slightly modified version of the revolutionary “X-Bow” wave-piercing design of the Greg Mortimer (TD 21 Nov 2017).
He said the advent of the two new vessels was seeing Aurora target TTV of $75 million.
