In 2022, Sydney-based sailor Lisa Blair claimed the record for the fastest solo and unassisted circumnavigation of Antarctica. Departing from Albany, Western Australia, on 21 February, the non-stop voyage took Lisa 92 days, 18 hours and 21 minutes to complete – beating the previous world record by 10 days.
Known for their intimate, small-ship experiences, Aurora Expeditions has announced who’ll be accompanying their passengers to some of the world’s most remote destinations over the next 12 months.

Lisa Blair is the first woman to sail solo and unassisted around Antarctica. The dangerous journey took her 184 days to finish and almost killed her when her mast broke in the middle of nowhere in giant seas. The courageous sailor survived the incident to fulfil her dream and tell her incredible story. It made her not only grow as a sailor but as a person. Since then she’s added another record to her belt: the first woman to circumnavigate Australia on her own. And as if all this isn’t enough, plans for a new adventure are already underway.
