Why choose Atlas Ocean Voyages
Although relatively new to the cruise scene, Atlas Ocean Voyages has already established a firm mantra for distinguished service and attention to detail. Priding themselves on elevating the best small-ship experience at sea into incredible value for money, the cruise company ensures that a range of complimentary inclusions and exciting excursions combine for the perfect trip.
Expedition cruises into Antarctica and the surrounding polar regions boast of pre/post hotel stays, access to a private charter jet service and sightseeing trips by Zodiac – not to mention a complimentary parka and gilet. Other itinerary destinations showcase Atlas Ocean Voyages’ VIP donatives, with sterling donatives abound across the Mediterranean, the British Isles and Northern Europe.
Winter inventories revolve around exotic destinations, including South America and expeditions along the Amazon River, although there are no obligations to engage with excursions and group activities. If it’s idyllic spa facilities, and lounging in your luxurious-appointed stateroom or sumptuous suite, that you wish for – Atlas is the luxury expedition cruise provider for you.
Cruising with Atlas Ocean Voyages
Atlas Ocean Voyages believes in the freedom of choice. You won’t find formal nights or enforced activities while sailing with Atlas. Passengers and guests are encouraged to do as they feel - relaxing, catching up with like-minded travellers, or participating in each and every excursion.
Whatever takes your fancy, you are assured of the finest splendour upon the waves. With a choice of suites and staterooms available, accommodation on any Atlas ship provides an opulent haven from which to base your cruise. All cabin categories benefit from a private balcony or large panoramic view, alongside generous en suite facilities and complimentary L’Occatane products.
The dining experience is second-to-none, serving food destined to expand your culinary horizon and transform your tastebuds. When outwith the onboard restaurants, Atlas provides several social hubs and distinctive lounges in which to consort or chill, with comfortable seating and bespoke bar service available to guests day and night.
Expedition voyages provide a viewing area situated only 30-feet above the waterline, injecting a sense of adrenaline and awe to proceedings. Fresh opportunities to explore each port of call arise on an almost daily basis, from absorbing the Scottish streets of Edinburgh or sun-kissed cobbles of Rome and Lisbon, to hiking an Antarctic glacier or lapping up Norway’s crystal waters. Itineraries remain incredibly varied, offering the chance to enjoy hidden locations unobtainable by any other fashion.
Who should travel
Everyone is welcome aboard an Atlas Ocean Voyages expedition cruise. However, there is a minimum age requirement of 12 months for any Epicurean Expedition, while Polar cruises require children to be aged eight and over and accompanied by an adult throughout the voyage.
Due to the environment and nature of yacht design, only a limited number of staterooms can accommodate children and there are no dedicated entertainments nor childcare once onboard.
However, that’s not to say that families are unwelcome. Atlas heartily encourages younger (well-behaved) travellers, alongside couples, groups, solo travellers and anyone with a sense of adventure and appreciation of the finer things.
One little sidenote: you’ll want to be fit for taking on glacier climbs and active excursions, but don’t worry – if those trips don’t suit your abilities, the spa awaits!
Destinations
Atlas Ocean Voyages will take you across the globe and into hidden areas of our world. From the bleak gorgeousness of Antarctica to the golden atmosphere of Europe’s famed Mediterranean, Atlas caters for all tastes. There’s a cruise for everyone.

Dining
Atlas ensures that dining is more than just the food. As an experience, the perfect blend of mouth-watering dishes and ambience can be found in any Atlas eatery. Every meal is cooked from scratch using the freshest ingredients, most of which are locally sourced by each ship’s resident chefs. Your tastebuds are bound for adventure, while you work up an appetite by enjoying 5-star service, amid outstanding excursions, throughout the day.
Lighter meals can be enjoyed in the European-style Paula’s Café, while Alma al Fresco plates up authentic delicacies from the tasteful Portuguese national pantry. Of course, the main attraction is the main dining room, providing an elegant and dignified service that defines Crème-de-la crème.
If something more casual takes your fancy, you can relax by the pool with an expertly-crafted sandwich or burger from the 7-Aft Grill. Afternoon Tea can also be cherished in the Dome Observation Lounge, adding an extra touch of class to an already outstanding yacht expedition.
