Atlas Ocean Voyages: Pioneering Luxe-Adventure Cruising in a Class of Its Own
Launching a new cruise line today demands innovation. Atlas Ocean Voyages delivers with small, efficient ships carrying under 200 passengers, all featuring balconies or ocean views and spacious amenities like walk-in closets.
- Unique global itineraries from Antarctica to Novorossiysk, featuring immersive activities such as body rafting, paragliding, and MAX SHORE overnights in Petra, Cappadocia, and Chernobyl.
- Onboard luxuries including Michelin-inspired cuisine, L'Occitane amenities, unlimited premium beverages, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
- Traveler perks like flexible booking policies, reduced deposits, and included roundtrip flights from 15 U.S. and Canadian airports.
Atlas Ocean Voyages debuted in July 2021, blending expedition adventure with luxury in a new "luxe-adventure" category.
Small Ships, Epic Adventures
Atlas itineraries venture off the beaten path: rare Greek islands like Elafonisos with its acclaimed Simos Beach; Demre, Turkey, birthplace of St. Nicholas; or Uruguay's iconic La Mano sculpture.
World Navigator, the first of five Explorer Class ships (four more by 2023), launched from Malta in July 2021, visiting six continents including Antarctica. This Polar Category C, Ice Class IB vessel accommodates 186 guests for Antarctic Circle crossings.
Using one-fifth the fuel of traditional ships, World Navigator employs quiet electric-hydro propulsion in sensitive areas, accessing exclusive spots.
Immersive Shore Excursions
Designed for curious explorers, complimentary MAX SHORE excursions include glamping in Jordan's Wadi Rum or tours near Chernobyl on Black Sea and Holy Lands voyages.
The Adventure Ashore program offers "color" immersions (samba shows in Rio, ancient theaters in Sicily, Sahara edges) and "excitement" activities (hang-gliding, body rafting, sand-boarding). Pre-cruise options like Peloponnese rafting or Cappadocia explorations include early flights.
Deep regional dives, such as the 13-night Intense Brazil itinerary with overnights in Rio and beach days in Buzios.
Luxury Onboard, No Compromises
Atlas ships balance adventure with refinement: staterooms with queen beds, ocean views, and balconies (suites include butler service and 24/7 room service). L'Occitane spa bathrooms elevate the experience.
Facilities include a health center, running track, Water's Edge lookout for marine viewing, and SeaSpa by L'Occitane. Four gourmet venues serve regional cuisine; four bars offer craft cocktails.
All-Inclusive Value Redefined
Unlike pricey expeditions, Atlas includes everything: roundtrip flights, excursions, dining, drinks, gratuities, enrichment lectures, and Wi-Fi—delivering exceptional value.
