PEPR Agency has been named the public relations agency of record for Aurora Expeditions, the B Corp-certified pioneering adventure travel company known for its immersive and responsible small-ship exploration.
The partnership will see PEPR lead brand communications and media relations for Aurora Expeditions across Australia and New Zealand, with a specific focus on the upcoming launch of its third purpose-built expedition ship, Douglas Mawson, in November 2025.
Founded in 1991 by legendary Australian explorers Greg and Margaret Mortimer, Aurora Expeditions has carved out a global reputation for delivering unforgettable experiences to some of the most remote and remarkable destinations.
Currently operating two purpose-built expedition ships, Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle, Aurora Expeditions has established itself as a specialist in Antarctic and Arctic exploration while also offering immersive voyages to other remote destinations worldwide. From December 2025, new Douglas Mawson will offer new round-trip expedition cruises from Hobart and Dunedin.
“We’re thrilled to welcome PEPR Agency as our communications partner as we further build our brand presence across Australia and New Zealand,” says Aurora Expeditions marketing manager Lina Trimarchi.
“With their strong tourism expertise, established stakeholder relationships and deep knowledge of the cruise industry, PEPR is well-positioned to support our next phase of growth.”
“Aurora is a true icon in the world of expedition cruising, and we’re proud to support their next wave of growth,” says PEPR Agency’s director Philip Engelberts.
“Their values of authenticity, sustainability and curiosity align closely with ours, and we’re excited to help share their story as they gear up to the arrival of Douglas Mawson.”
The account will be overseen by PEPR Agency general manager Lyndsey Gordon, with account director Chloe Curtis managing day-to-day strategy and execution.
