Named after the famous Australian mountaineer, the Greg Mortimer is a 160 capacity ship operating itineraries for AE Expeditions in Antarctica and the Arctic. The Greg Mortimer has been custom-built for cruising polar waters and boasts a Ulstein X-Bow, which allows for faster, more comfortable speeds, as well as lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions.
Exploration & Discovery
The Greg Mortimer is equipped with a fleet of 15 Zodiacs which are easily accessible from one of four sea-level loading platforms. The Zodiacs are frequently used throughout every voyage on Greg Mortimer and can be deployed, weather permitting, up to twice daily.
The ship also boasts two hydraulic platforms located at the front of the ship. A unique feature of the Greg Mortimer, these can be moved out over the water and allow for a dedicated observation area that comes in particularly useful for spotting wildlife such as whales and polar bears.
For exploration ashore, activities such as kayaking, climbing and even snowshoeing are all offered on selected itineraries, with each excursion led by AE Expeditions’ highly trained team of expedition specialists.

Greg Mortimer Dining
There is one main dining venue on Greg Mortimer which can comfortably seat all of the ship’s guests.
