Aurora throws solo supplement overboard

West Australian16-07-2025
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.'
The No Solo Supplement offer is valid for bookings until September 30, 2025, and applies to all Antarctica 2025/26 expeditions, as well as all Arctic and Global Discovery expeditions through September 2026. See travel agents and

Ethereum the most popular category of ETFs in Australia after 57 per cent surge in July, while Bitcoin rises by 12 per cent

Bitcoin's growth was eclipsed by rival decentralised blockchain Ethereum in July as enthusiasm for exchange-traded funds surged among Australian traders. Global X on Thursday said it had posted its strongest month of flows on record in July, attracting $370 million in net inflows, with a significant amount going to US assets. The company's Senior Product and Investment Strategist Marc Jocum said confidence in US exceptionalism and artificial intelligence were two of the trend's key drivers. Ethereum, one of Bitcoin's main rivals, grew by 57 per cent in July, making it the best performing ETF on the Australian market. Bitcoin rose by 12 per cent during the same time period. In the US in July, Bitcoin ETFs experienced $6.3 billion in flows. Ethereum ETFs had flows of $5.5 billion.

ASX makes $410 million mistake

The Australian Stock Exchange is under fire for a $410 million mistake. When processing a market announcement, a market operator confused telco giant and Vodafone owner TPG Telecom with TPG Capital. The ASX incorrectly announced that TPG Telecom was buying Australian software provider 'Infomedia', whereas it was private equity group TPG Capital Asia making the acquisition. Naming the wrong company turned out to be a $410 million blunder as TPG Telecom stocks dropped four per cent.
