AURORA Expeditions will honour its founder, pioneering mountaineer and explorer Greg Mortimer, by naming its new ship (CW 16 May) after him.
The vessel, set to debut in late 2019, will be the first expedition cruise ship to feature the patented Ulstein “X-Bow” which pierces waves with greater stability.
Aurora managing director Robert Halfpenny said the ship’s name would “ensure Greg’s legacy and vision for small group voyages continues to burn brightly into the future”.
Mortimer, who established Aurora with his wife in 1991, said he was “honoured and humbled to share my name with a vessel that marries the pioneering heritage of Aurora Expeditions with bold technology, aggressive design and innovation fit for purpose”.
