It’s a known fact that traveling provides a sense of adventure and excitement that can help improve overall well-being. When people think of a traditional wellness getaway, spa treatments, yoga retreats and juice cleanses may initially come to mind. However, a trip that explores the world’s most remote and untouched destinations can offer deep, lasting wellness benefits in more ways than one.
Aurora Expeditions, a leader in small-ship expedition travel, brings travelers to the ends of the Earth from the icy, vast White Continent of Antarctica and the Arctic to the stretches of South Georgia and beyond. The journey is not just for adventure, it’s also about reconnecting with oneself, discovering new places and finding a deeper connection to the environment around us.
Whether it's the restorative benefits of cold therapy after a polar plunge, the effects of a digital detox being far from cell service or the calming influence of being surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife, each expedition fosters a unique path to wellness. Daily guided hikes, Zodiac cruises through towering icebergs, watching as penguins, polar bears, seals and more go on with their daily lives and relaxing in the outdoor Jacuzzis onboard allow guests to move, breathe and immerse themselves fully in nature, something that’s proven to be a mood booster, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity.
