* 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.

** Rates in Canadian Dollars are per person, based on double occupancy + 5% tax and include:

All meals, wine with dinner, non-alcoholic beverages and snacks

Single occupancy is available on a very limited basis at an additional charge of 70% of the double occupancy rate. Deposit (Non-Refundable) 25% deposit is due upon booking. The balance is payable no later than 60 days prior to sailing date.

Accommodation Description

All staterooms have opening windows and 110 volt electrical outlets.
4 Port/Starboard Staterooms – 2 lower berths, mid-size staterooms, port or starboard facing
2 Forward Staterooms – 2 lower berths, largest staterooms, forward facing.
Each stateroom has an ensuite washroom with a toilet, sink and shower.

Please Note

Passengers must be minimum 16 years. Interior of vessel is non-smoking. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate pets. All Aurora Explorer cruises begin and end at Campbell River Marine Terminal in Menzies Bay, 15 kms north of Campbell River, BC. Secure, free parking is available on site.
