Aurora throws solo supplement overboard

Australian expedition cruise line Aurora this week announced that it is waiving the solo supplement across all 2025/26 Antarctica voyages and all Arctic and Global Discovery expeditions until September 2026.

“Solo travellers are often among our most engaged and curious passengers,” says Aurora Expeditions CEO Michael Heath.

“Our expeditions naturally foster connection: to nature, to other people, and to one’s own sense of wonder and purpose.

“With the expansion of our No Solo Supplement offer across all Antarctica voyages in 2025/26, and all Arctic and Global Discovery voyages until September 2026, we’re making it easier than ever for them to join us on an unforgettable journey.”

A spokesperson for the Aurora team says its ships are designed with solo travellers in mind. There are “flexible cabin configurations” and inclusive experiences such as Zodiac excursions, guided hikes, and Citizen Science programs.

“Whether you’re chasing a lifelong dream, seeking time for reflection, or craving a meaningful escape, Aurora’s voyages provide the ideal platform for travellers to experience the extraordinary with all the freedom and support you need.”
