Atlas Ocean Voyages Reviews

I had a hip injury just prior to the trip. Some of the excursions were extremely difficult for meand others to walk through. I recommend that you provide both total distance of walking and appropriate walking time for all excursions.

This was our first time on Atlas, following almost a dozen trips on Viking, Royal Clipper, Windstar and Caledonian and this was really an excellent trip on a beautifully equipped boat with a great staff. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. The ship, crew and amenities on board are impeccable, Meals were excellent. Ports of call were interesting. the White Night in Ibiza was amazing. Only regret that Atlas does not do US ports. Would definitely cruise with Atlas again.

We boarded the World Traveller at NIce port at 3 pm , no covered waiting facility for passengers, this is normally expected for higher end cruise. Unfortunately once on board my wife after having a slice of quiche at Paula's pantry, was violently sick and confined to bed until the next morning. In other respects the cruise was all in all enjoyable and we appreciated the more intimate atmosphere the a small 200 passenger ship affords.

Cancelled trip destinations are unavoidable in bad weather, but on board activities beyond lounges with drink are few where weather limits on board a vessel with minimal fitness resources. A spa is nice, but passive. A fitness studio with 25% of powered equipment out of commission is not at all good and no place for exercise is possible in high winds if outside walks are not accessible in a safe manner. The same applies for pool and for much of anything else. One is limited to stairs or to walking hallways to burn calories if one wants to remain fit. Many people are less interested in working out, but some provision should be managed at least for a limited availability of resources for those stuck onboard while 'out at sea'.

We really loved this cruise. It exceded our expectations.

The four of us had a great time on the Voyager. Kudos to the Atlas staff. Everyone was always very cheerful and accommodating and seemed to love their job. The food and service were both very good. We had two nights of Northern Lights dancing in the sky. Saw a glacier calve near the ship, two polar bears from a distance (best way to see them!), herd of musk ox and loads of beautiful icebergs. Supplied parkas and boots were lifesavers. Overall the trip was very organized and efficient, given the uncertainty of mother nature in such a remote region. We were never sure what the next day's plan would be until the night before, then of course, weather and conditions had to cooperate. We really felt like explorers. Thank u Atlas. We hope to see you again in the near future!

We were moved by the extreme care of the expedition crew. The stateroom was excellent (except that water volume and temperature in the shower weren't regulable), the staff and crew entirely supportive and pleasant, and the itinerary was exactly what we hoped (even the storm at sea). We were disappointed in the food at dinner, which was occasionally really excellent but usually only adequate and sometimes downright poor.

The expeditions and expedition leaders were great; the food was excellent; the cabin stewards were excellent; our cruise director, Greg, was high energy, and served up the right kind of entertainment for the nature of the cruise; Nuno, the hotel director, was always available and super responsive to our needs. And, last but not least, the sights we saw were spectacular, including polar bears (at a distance), musk oxen and massive icebergs. To cap off our cruise, we were treated during our last two nights to fantastic displays of Northern Lights. This is an experience we’d highly recommend!

The ship is beautiful and the staff is exceptional. Th Itinerary itself was 5* worthy. The entertainment and the Guest Chef, Massimo Capra, were talented and everso entertaining. The excursions were also better than any we have ever been on. When we are ready to go away again and if there is an itinerary that we love, we will surely book an Atlas Cruise again.

everything was really great. the folks on the ship were so nice and helpful, the excursion crews were passionate and knowledgeable. the excusions were fun and interesting. the food on board was surpisingly good. it was our first time on a cruise and I think we are now spoiled!

Greenland is very different from the other Arctic cruises we have taken, circumnavigating Svalbard, Iceland, and Northern Norway. This is a very sparsely inhabited, almost completely untouched and beautiful. It looks much different from Iceland and Svalbard. The scenery is just as spectacular but different and there is no other way to describe it. Going there on the Atlas World Navigator allowed us to see and visit areas that we could not have reached in a larger ship. As there were only around 150 passengers, getting ashore was easy and not crowded anywhere. This ship is very nice, comfortable and informal. No dressup days! The foot was good and plentiful and the cabins comfortable. As this was our second trip on this ship in 6 months, we obviously enjoyed it. Even though the ship is fairly small, it handles the seas well as it has stabilizers. One night we had winds of 100 mph on the bow and waves crashing over the bow with the spray coming as high as the top of the ship, yet we had no problems eating dinner, taking a shower, or enjoying an after dinner cocktail in the bar. The staff on this ship could not be more accommodating or helpful, and always with a smile. Only the cruise director was a bit curt! The tenders are comfortable and easy to get on and off. The rubber life boats are likewise easy to access and surprisingly comfortable although on occasion a bit wet! We really enjoy the informality of small ships and the opportunity to meet new people. Atlas makes every effort to please their passengers, and it shows everywhere. Do not expect the same entertainment, having to get dressed up for dinner, and constant advertisements for the next cruise. This is a laid back wonderful experience that I guarantee you will enjoy.

Our 22-day back-to-back expedition cruise to Western Greenland was an experience we will never forget. Each of the two 11-day cruises offered something unique, from the shifting weather and varying landscapes to the diverse settlements and activities along the way. Every day felt like an adventure, and each stop brought new discoveries. The first 11-day journey was marked by fewer ports of call, with a focus on some of the larger settlements. We had several foggy days where the mist hung low, shrouding the mountains and glaciers in a mysterious, almost ethereal beauty. While the weather added a unique atmosphere to the experience, it also meant that some activities were more limited due to visibility. Nonetheless, the awe of the glaciers and the thrill of spotting wildlife—whether on misty Zodiac cruises or shore excursions—made it a truly memorable part of the journey. In contrast, the second leg of the expedition took us to more remote and less-visited settlements, where the days were often sunnier, offering clearer views of Greenland’s stunning landscapes. The weather was crisp and bright, creating perfect conditions for exploring the untouched wilderness and getting closer to the glaciers, fjords, and wildlife. We experienced more outdoor activities, like hiking across vast tundra and kayaking among icebergs, as the clearer skies and longer days allowed us to fully embrace the adventure. These remote stops deepened our understanding of Greenland’s natural beauty and isolation, and each settlement had its own story to tell. Onboard, the experience was consistently excellent. The gourmet cuisine was always a highlight, with every meal beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The variety and quality of the dishes were impressive, from fresh seafood to decadent desserts, making each dining experience something to look forward to. The ship’s staff made the trip even more special. Their exceptional service made us feel at home from day one, and the expedition team brought Greenland to life with their informative and engaging lectures. Whether we were learning about local wildlife or the region’s fascinating geology, the staff’s passion was contagious. On top of that, the activities they organized—both on and off the ship—kept us entertained and connected with fellow passengers. This journey was an incredible blend of adventure, exploration, and relaxation. The shifting experiences between the two legs—foggy, mysterious days followed by clearer, sunlit adventures—gave us a full picture of Greenland’s many faces. We left with a deep sense of gratitude for the ship's hospitality, the exceptional cuisine, and the endless moments of awe and wonder in one of the world’s most remote places. A trip we will cherish forever.

Surpassed our expectations! I've travelled quite a bit to 50+ countries and have experienced many different means of accommodations and adventures. This cruise line has thought of everything. Great itinerary. Exceptional service and staff. Excellent food and drink. Really loved the entire experience! Met many fellow travelers that became friends. :)

An outstanding journey from start to finish. The service, meals, excursions, cabins and ship operation was unbelievably great. One of our best cruises ever. And...the price was very reasonable for such quality offerings. After using Atlas Cruises to travel to Antarctica and the Artic, I highly recommend it to anyone considering travel to these two destinations.

The Ship was clean and neat and just the right size for relaxation and meeting fllow passengers. The food was terriffic as was the daily cabin service. The crew was friendly and always of service with a friendly greeting. The exploration were informative with guides very knowledgeable and helpful. All in all, i would recommend this tour to anyone that wanted something different and adventurous and fun. Loved it.

This was a very positive experience, and I will seriously consider traveling again with Atlas Ocean Voyages. The ship is beautiful, and I like the small size. The staff was wonderful, and it was a pleasure to meet the other passengers. The few problems were in part due to my lack of experience, but I found getting full info that I needed to select appropriate off-ship excursions. Communication could be clearer. But now I know what questions to ask.

Everything about the ship, the amenities, the personnel, the service, the food, everything was above expectations. This was our first cruise. But the charter flight back to JFK was horribly overcrowded. For that reason I would not do it again. Mark Alderson

We thoroughly enjoyed our Malta to Malta cruise including its unusual stops in Sicily and Capri. The ship is lovely and having only a couple of hundred guests, it was easy to connect with others. We had a Navigator Suite which was quite roomy and pleasantly decorated. The food was very good, especially the generous buffet lunches and breakfasts including a whole section on plant-based choices. The entertainment was magic - world class singers including Julie, the best cruise director we've ever had, as were the guest chef and guest winery owner. The crew were first class - friendly, extremely helpful and engaged. This was our first Atlas cruise but it will definitely not be our last.

Not like any other cruise we have taken, more a adventure and took us out of our norm, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see another side of cruising.

Superb trip- great food and wonderful expedition leaders- our only complaint was the internet pricing

Beautiful ship and amenities. Well organized introduction to Greenland, it';s people and its gorgeous environment. First class accommodations on ship.
