Key facts
Overview
A journey shaped by conditions, not a script.
Aurora Expeditions' In the Wake of Wallace follows Alfred Russel Wallace's nineteenth-century route through one of the planet's richest biodiversity corridors. From Bali to Singapore aboard Greg Mortimer (130 guests), the voyage threads Raja Ampat's coral kingdoms, Komodo National Park, Sulawesi's endemic wildlife, and Borneo's rainforest reserves. Naturalist-led landings, snorkelling, and zodiac operations define every day. Aurora's first dedicated Southeast Asia expedition — expedition ship scale in a region where most cruising is conventional.
Raja Ampat — among the highest marine biodiversity on earth.
Komodo National Park — dragons, pink beaches, and reef snorkelling.
Borneo rainforest reserves — orangutan and endemic wildlife searching.
Greg Mortimer — 130 guests, built for remote expedition access.
