A Thanks Giving Penguin!

Celebrate America's Favorite Holiday in Antarctica with Aurora Expeditions

London, 7 July 2015: Turkeys might be the traditional Thanksgiving bird, but this year, how about a spot of penguin watching to celebrate America's favorite annual holiday?

Aurora Expeditions, expeditionary cruising specialists and pioneers of polar snorkeling, are setting sailing to the pristine waters and icy landscape of Antarctica for an unforgettable Thanksgiving experience.

Giving thanks for the areas of the world still pristine and untouched by mass tourism, this voyage is for animal lovers, nature enthusiasts and intrepid travellers alike who might be in search of a Thanksgiving celebration with a difference. Guests on board the Scotia Sea Springtime will have a front row seat in a world of snowy mountains, glacial waters, and spectacular wildlife.

While friends back home might be glued to their television sets watching the big game, intrepid travellers joining Aurora Expeditions could be playing their own five aside football on ice, kayaking amongst diving penguins, and hiking on icebergs floating on the most remote ocean in the world.

And after all that adventure, it's time for a hearty Thanksgiving feast. Delicious meals cooked by Aurora Expedition's expert chefs are combined with spectacular views of turquoise waters, frosted peaks and dramatic icebergs.

Don't worry about missing the annual Thanksgiving parade, instead witness a pageantry of king penguins shuffling along the South Georgia shoreline, whales breaching the icy waters, albatross gliding through the sky, and feisty fur seal pups basking in the Antarctic sunshine.

Sparkling icebergs, comic penguins, and scatterings of snow are sure to put everyone in the Christmas spirit after Thanksgiving. And with exclusive photography workshops with award winning cinematographer Abraham Joffe and internationally recognized photographer Peter Eastway, once you're home, friends and loved ones can expect expertly taken pictures of spectacular icy landscapes, curious seal pups and huddles of penguins under their Christmas tree.

This November, join Aurora Expeditions on their Scotia Sea Springtime adventure. An 18 day adventure that departs from Santiago Chile on the 21st November 2015. Prices start from US$16,900 for a twin share cabin, including all meals and zodiac excursions.
