Heritage Expeditions celebrates new ship launch with sold-out Australian Roadshow
Australasia’s only family-owned and operated expedition cruise company, Heritage Expeditions, is celebrating the launch of its new 130-guest expedition ship, Heritage Discoverer, following a sold-out roadshow across Australia.
Held in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the roadshow reunited Heritage Expeditions with Australia’s leading travel agents, media and guests during a series of exclusive lunches and evening events announcing the company’s maiden 2027–28 season aboard Heritage Discoverer.
Led by Commercial Director & Expedition Leader Aaron Russ, the events showcased the company’s unique positioning, luxury of experience and ‘only with Heritage Expeditions’ opportunities along with Heritage Discoverer’s exciting new itineraries. Also attending were Head of Global Sales Robert Halfpenny and Sales Manager Australia Chris le Roux, with Marketing Manager Isaac Wilson joining in Sydney and Melbourne, and Kayaking Program Manager Toby Story joining the Brisbane events.
Guests were treated to an exclusive preview of the company’s seven new itineraries exploring Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland, intimate explorations of the Atlantic coast, British Isles, Faroe Islands, Scotland and Ireland, and Heritage Expeditions’ celebrated return to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and South Shetland Islands.
“It’s been fantastic to connect with some of Australia’s leading travel agents, media and our guests to share the Heritage Expeditions story ahead of Heritage Discoverer’s preview voyage this November,” said Aaron.
“With exciting new itineraries exploring Europe and the Arctic, alongside our return to the Antarctic Peninsula, Heritage Discoverer offers an incredible range of authentic, new expedition experiences for agents to sell and travellers to discover.”
With the inaugural voyage setting sail in May 2027, Heritage Discoverer, formerly Silver Explorer, is the third vessel in Heritage Expeditions’ fleet, joining the 140-guest flagship, Heritage Adventurer, and the 18-guest expedition yacht, Heritage Explorer.
