Solo Travellers

One of the major barriers for solo travellers are ‘single supplements’, or additional charges because you are travelling alone. When travelling with Aurora Expeditions, you won’t need to worry about these thanks to our cabin-finding service. Solo travellers who are happy to share can take advantage of our informal cabin-mate finding service that matches you with a cabin mate (or two) of the same gender. This way you can avoid paying any extra single supplements during your voyage with us.

That is fine. We offer the option to pay a 50% surcharge for a sole occupancy cabin (on top of the twin occupancy rate).

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.

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.

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.

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 gender 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.
