Aurora Expeditions has launched Aurora Advisor Advantage, a new suite of benefits, tools and service enhancements designed to make it simpler and more rewarding for travel advisors to sell the small-ship expedition operator’s voyages.
Developed in direct response to feedback gathered from the travel advisor community over the past year, Aurora Advisor Advantage brings together improvements across commission payments, trade rates, sales resources and digital tools.
“Aurora Advisor Advantage reflects a simple commitment: to listen to our travel advisor partners and deliver what they need to succeed selling small ship expeditions,” said David Tanguay, head of global sales at Aurora Expeditions.
Tanguay continued: “Travel advisors are at the heart of our business, playing an essential role in inspiring travellers and guiding them toward the right expedition experience. Aurora Advisor Advantage is our investment in that partnership — providing advisors with enhanced tools, greater product visibility, and more meaningful rewards, while making it easier to deliver exceptional value for both their clients and their business.”
From 2026–27 Antarctic season, guests will enjoy premium beverages, including premium spirits, cocktails, beer, wine and liqueurs, included in voyage fares across the fleet at no additional cost. The expanded inclusions will add further value to the onboard experience and provide advisors with another clear benefit to communicate to clients.
Aurora Expeditions has introduced a no-charge flexible voyage transfer, allowing clients who are unable to travel after paying their deposit to move their booking to another Aurora Expeditions voyage departing within 36 months of their original departure date, without a transfer fee.*
Aurora Expeditions has brought forward eligible gross commission payments, with advisors now paid 60 days before their clients’ departure. The revised payment schedule is designed to support advisor cash flow and recognize their work earlier in the customer journey.
They will also introduce Aurora Insider Rates, giving eligible advisors, their friends and family the opportunity to experience an Aurora voyage when booking within 120 days of departure. Rates will be available from US$300 per person, per day, subject to availability and applicable terms and conditions. The enhanced Travel Advisor Hub provides a central location for the information and resources advisors need to sell Aurora Expeditions’ voyages.
Its new Dates & Rates Tool allows advisors to view live voyage pricing across every cabin category and check optional activity availability. Voyages can be searched by departure date, region, season, duration, ship and price, helping advisors compare options and respond to client inquiries more efficiently. Aurora Expeditions is also developing a new online booking portal that will allow travel advisors to book expeditions online at a time that suits them. Further details and launch timing will be announced as development progresses.
