Imagine standing on the cliffs of Amalfi Coast or watching the sunset from a Greek island—all with the ease of small-ship exploration. Aurora Expeditions is offering JourneyWoman readers exclusive solo travel cruise discounts to the Mediterranean on its newest ship, the Douglas Mawson. Named after the legendary Australian geologist and explorer, the Douglas Mawson was designed for global discovery and built with sustainability in mind. With space for just 154 adventurers, it’s intimate, comfortable, and built for exploration.

To celebrate the ship’s inaugural European voyages, Aurora Expeditions is offering JourneyWoman readers something truly special – save up to 40% on 14 2026 itineraries to the Mediterranean, including Italy, Croatia, Greece, Sicily, France. This includes:

• 20% off all Mediterannean cruises in summer 2026 
• PLUS an additional 20% just for JourneyWoman readers
