Cruises For Solo Travellers 21/22 | Aurora Expeditions™

Home > Why us > Solo Travellers

Live every moment. Explore endlessly.

If you’re all about taking the plunge into extraordinary adventures and are travelling solo, we have great options for you. Many solo passengers join Aurora Expeditions and have an amazing time both on and off the ship. You will explore the immense wilderness and enjoy the stunning wildlife in good company as part of our small group Zodiac cruises, shore excursions or our activity programs like kayaking and snorkelling. By their very nature our expeditions attract people who have a passion for the natural world and enriching, active travel. Join us to enjoy these new experiences together and meet new people who are soon to become lifelong friends.

We'll find you a traveler to share with

Save the solo supplement and we’ll pair you with a like-minded traveler based on the gender stated in your passport and your selected cabin category. If we’re unable to find you someone to share with, the solo supplement is waived. This option can be combined with other offers and discounts.

Or request a private cabin

Do you prefer to guarantee a cabin all to yourself? Explore endlessly at your own pace. Pay a 50% surcharge and the cabin is all yours. This option can be combined with other offers and discounts.

What our Solo Travellers Say

I highly recommend solo traveller expeditions to anyone who asks. It’s a totally different but amazing experience. I still remember the most amazing kayaking trip. I’m looking forward to returning to visit South Georgia in 2022.”

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions about joining one of our expeditions as a solo traveller please check out our FAQ’s below or give us a call.

What if I want my own private cabin?

That is fine. We offer the option to pay a 50% surcharge for a sole occupancy cabin (on top of the twin occupancy rate) unless you take advantage of one of our Go Solo & Save special offer expeditions listed above to receive the no solo supplements special.

Will the group be full of couples or solo travellers?

On our expeditions, the average ratio between solo travellers and others (whether couples or friends) is approximately 30:70. However, this varies. If you are keen to know more about the others booked on your specific voyage, talk to one of our Expedition Experts for more details. We are always keen to help ensure you are booked on the most suitable voyage for you.

Are other single travellers mainly women or men?

Generally, the split between women and men travelling solo on our trips is 50:50, however in recent years there has been a slight rise in the number of female solo travellers. If you’d like to know more about the others booked on your specific voyage, talk to our Expedition Experts today.

What age will the rest of my group be?

The age groups of passengers on our voyages vary hugely. Traditionally the majority of passengers have been over 50, however in recent years we have seen an increase in younger guests; particularly with the lure of our adventure activities, photography workshops, adding voyages to a round-the-world trip etc. We would say expect the age range to be diverse & rest assured that a good, mixed range of ages on the expedition makes the experience all the more fun.
