Something bigger than you ever imagined...
Let’s start with the obvious—an Arctic Expedition isn’t your typical cruise. There are no crowded buffets, no loud pool decks, and no umbrella drinks, unless you ask nicely. Atlas Ocean Voyages is doing something completely different. They’ve taken all the best parts of small-ship luxury travel and dropped them into the middle of some of the most remote, jaw-dropping places on Earth, offering unique experiences that will leave you intrigued and wanting more.
It’s calm, it’s intimate, and it’s all about getting you as close as possible to the wild beauty of the Arctic—without giving up things like cozy beds, great wine, and people who remember your name. The Arctic Expedition with Atlas Ocean Voyages is a luxurious and comfortable journey that compromises on nothing in terms of quality, ensuring you feel pampered and indulged.
Cruising the Arctic is as close as you'll get to experiencing an episode of Planet Earth
If you’ve ever caught yourself getting emotional over a David Attenborough documentary, this one’s for you. The Arctic isn’t just snow and ice (though there’s a lot of that). It’s golden tundra, iceberg-filled fjords, tiny colorful villages, and wildlife that most people never get to see themselves.
Atlas itineraries feature destinations such as Svalbard, where polar bears wander and glaciers loom above, or Greenland, where vast ice sheets converge with secluded towns rich in warmth and culture.
The same itineraries take you to Iceland, where lava fields and waterfalls add a whole different kind of magic. Every day brings something new—whether it’s a Zodiac ride through sea ice or an afternoon walking through a village that feels like it’s at the edge of the world.
Small Ship, Big Adventure
Atlas ships are built as polar-class vessels, meaning they are extremely durable and capable of navigating areas that most ships cannot access. Inside, however, they exude a boutique hotel atmosphere. Accommodating fewer than 200 guests, these ships offer ample space and a perfect blend of relaxation and sophistication.
It's not just about your destination—it's also about how you get there. Each expedition is led by a team of experts who are genuinely passionate about the Arctic. You'll hear captivating stories from naturalists, historians, and guides who are dedicated to sharing their knowledge. They will take you out on Zodiacs, lead hikes across frozen landscapes, and explain what you see along the way. This experience is not only visually stunning but also deeply insightful.
Dream worthy itineraries
There are many options to choose from, whether you're looking for a quick glimpse of the Arctic or planning to immerse yourself for a few weeks. Some trips focus exclusively on Svalbard or Greenland, while others include stops in cities like Reykjavík, Copenhagen, or even Edinburgh for a touch of cultural experience.
The atmosphere is a blend of slow travel and genuine adventure. You'll have ample time to absorb the surroundings—whether it's standing in awe as a glacier cracks in the distance or engaging in conversation with locals in a Greenlandic village. There's no rush and no pressure. Just excellent travel experiences.
Fares and Packages to Suit Every Traveler
Atlas offers a fantastic feature called Explorer’s Choice, allowing you to personalize your trip with a few additional perks. Whether you need assistance with flights, an extra hotel night before your cruise starts, or stronger Wi-Fi to keep your friends envious on Instagram, you can choose one or two of these options based on your room selection to tailor your experience.
If you're a solo traveler, you’re in luck! Atlas makes it easy for you. They provide reduced single supplements, and since the ships are small and welcoming, it’s simple to connect with other like-minded explorers. You can look forward to shared meals, engaging conversations, and likely a few new travel friends by the time you head home.
