Traversing 'The Med': A Mediterranean Feast
Welcome to AE Expeditions’ A Mediterranean Feast Sailing in the wake of historical trade routes, we cross a sea brimming with traditional fare. In eras where olive oil was liquid gold and wine favoured over water, the goods traded on these shores established rituals and lifestyles. From the coastal kitchens of Italy, France and Spain we sail the seas to the island treasure troves of Sardinia, Corsica and Mallorca where we journey to century-old farmhouses, traditional fishing villages, world-class wineries and woodfired kitchens as we immerse ourselves in the culture, traditions and cuisines of the communities who ensure their homeland remains a treasure waiting to be tasted.
AE Expeditions is a small Australian cruise line which specialises in off-the-beaten-track voyages led by remote area experts.
The company’s adventurous co-founders, Greg and Margaret Mortimer, established AE Expeditions in 1991 and had by the following year, already begun running voyages to Antarctica
Adventure has a new name. Setting sail in 2025, our new state-of-the-art ship, the Douglas Mawson, is the last in a line of purpose-built vessels that have redefined small ship expedition cruising.
