The perfect travelling companion must have: A thirst for adventure, An insatiable appetite for new experiences and a longing to discover new sights, sounds and tastes. Lively evenings at sea would be relished, yet the serenity of peaceful moments still appreciated. Aurora might just be your perfect partner.

She may be a seasoned world traveller, but she still has a passion for exploration. The shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge dance across her broad open decks. Excitement heightens in her Crow’s Nest as Sydney’s Harbour Bridge appears on the horizon. Menus created by Marco Pierre White are pored over while sailing through the Panama Canal. She exudes an air of authenticity while boasting the modern facilities of 21st century travel.

Aurora’s South America and Pacific Grand Voyage captures the very essence of this spectacular part of the world - lush rainforests, expansive beaches, colonial cities, colourful cultures, snow capped mountains, crystal clear lakes and vast glaciers.

24 of her 95 nights will be spent in South America - a total of 9 ports including two days in Buenos Aires and an evening in Rio de Janeiro and Valparaiso. Visiting Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, there really is the opportunity to appreciate the true diversity of this region’s coast.

In contrast to the colourfully eclectic experiences of South America, the serene islands of the Pacific beckon. Straight from the pages of glossy travel magazines, the brilliant white sands and turquoise lagoons are undeniably enticing.

From here, Aurora takes a cultural turn as island life paves the way for Australasian city life and a tour that includes Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland. Having already seen so much, it’s hard to believe that the majestic sights are still far from over. For some, the best may still be to come - a once in a lifetime sailing under San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Acapulco Harbour, an unforgettable Panama Canal transit and the tropical islands of the Caribbean Sea.

Aurora’s 2011 itinerary promises to be a very grand voyage indeed.
