* Cruise Routing

Passengers embarking on an Aurora Explorer cruise are reminded that the vessel is a working freight boat.  Delivery of freight and the securing of additional freight opportunities will dictate the routing and the timetable of the vessel.  Consequently, routing may differ from that described in “Cruise Routing” above.  While every effort is made to provide time in the schedule for our guests to disembark from the vessel for sightseeing, exploring or other recreational activities, such stops are not guaranteed.  The actual routing of the vessel may vary from that advertised depending on time allowances and freight opportunity.
