Atlas Ocean Voyages

Who Atlas suits

Curious travelers who want a bucket-list trip with real expedition landings, but also want a comfortable suite, good food and drinks included. It’s a great fit for couples and friends. Expeditions do involve Zodiac boats, cold weather and changing plans, so it helps if you’re flexible.

The yachts

Atlas sails three expedition yachts: World Navigator, World Traveller and World Voyager. Each one carries fewer than 200 guests. The polar ships are built with ice-class hulls for Antarctic waters. A new yacht, Atlas Adventurer, is set to arrive in 2028.

Antarctica with Atlas

The Antarctica season runs from about November to March. Most trips include a hotel night before you board, in Buenos Aires or Punta Arenas, and a charter flight to the ship. If you’d rather skip some or all of the rough Drake Passage, ask us about Atlas’s Fly the Drake trips. Wondering what an expedition is really like? Read our Antarctica expedition cruise guide.

What’s included

• Meals with menus that change daily, plus 24-hour room service.
• Wines, spirits, craft beers and specialty coffees.
• Gratuities for onboard staff.
• Shore landings and Zodiac outings with the expedition team on polar trips.
• An Atlas parka on Antarctica and select Arctic trips.

Flights to South America, travel insurance and some optional excursions are extra. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is a must for polar trips, and we can help with that too.
