Greg Mortimer
Greg Mortimer is an expedition cruise ship operated by Aurora Expeditions and named after the company's founder, an Australian mountaineer and polar explorer. The ship features a state-of-the-art x-bow design intended to provide a smoother ride by piercing through smaller waves. The vessel gained significant attention when it became stranded in South American waters, ultimately docking in Uruguay where a substantial portion of passengers and crew tested positive for COVID-19.
Greg Mortimer accommodates up to 120 passengers on a lower berth basis, supported by a crew of 74, across 80 cabins and 10 decks. She is powered by Wartsila engines and operates at a service speed of 16 knots. She is the largest vessel by gross tonnage in the Aurora Expeditions active fleet.
