Atlas Ocean Voyages Reviews

The ship was gorgeous. The staff were friendly professional and met any request with a smile. The food was exceptional and varied. The rooms were spacious. I would highly recommend

Highly recommended. Fully satisfied. Thanks Jennifer & Atlas World Voyager Crew

We had a complete trip as we lucked out and had really great weather conditions. The crew are all super friendly and willing to help and discuss any questions.

We booked the trip mainly to visit South Georgia Island. After we had boarded the ship and did the safety drill, they called a mandatory meeting in the ship's auditorium. They announced that there were hurricane force winds and bad weather in the area of South Georgia. They had decided the night before we boarded to change the itinerary to include Antarctica and the Falkland Islands, and eliminated one port in Uruguay. I think they should have notified us in advance instead of giving us us 30 minutes to decide if we wanted to cancel the trip. In any event the trip they took us on was enjoyable, but was plagued by expensive and slow Internet service on the ship. The ship is modern and rides well in heavy seas. The staff really tried to give us the best service possible. Kudos to Elvio in housekeeping, Roman in security, Michael the Tour Director, Erick, Christopher, and Paul in the dining room, and Captain Sousa. Also, Jonathan and the expedition team were AMAZING!

Great cruise and a very nice ship.

Exceeded my expectations.

Overall this trip was good. We were held up in Port for two days due to problems so it was disappointing to not go to the South Shetland Islands and to miss a day in Antarctica. I feel that Atlas and the crew did try to do their best despite the delay. The two days that we were in Antarctica were great and they provided very full days of activities. I really liked all the lectures that were presented. The whole crew from the Captain to Housekeeping were outstanding. Atlas has made some decent offers to make up for the lost time so that was appreciated. I would use Atlas Ocean Voyages again.

small ship with 200 guests and 150 employees. This is an Expedition cruise so alot to learn and several excursions onto Antartica!

Had to take away a star due to the private charter. The flight and aircraft were horrible, you all need to upgrade this part of the trip, It would be a dealbreaker in the future if that was the only way to get to Ushuaia.

The cruise provided an excellent once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic experience. The route selected provided stunning landscapes and ice formations and amazing wildlife encounters with penguin colonies, seals, and whales. The ship's crew and expedition staff made it seem effortless but I know there was a lot of expert management, seasoned judgement, and hard work to pull off such a magnificent experience. We cannot say enough positive; a wonderful value.

It was everything we hoped for and more. The ship and crew were fantastic, the food was great and we saw every kind of penguin, seal and whales galore!

Kim Melita was our agent and she was so very helpful and quick with her responses to all of our questions. The cruise itself was fantastic. We had great weather which helps a lot. All of the staff was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious! 10/10

Our experience of the World Voyager with Atlas Ocean Voyages was spectacular. The accommodations were top notch, the crew was fantastic, the expeditions and the expedition leaders were amazing, and the food was great. Antarctica is beautiful and majestic. We were able to see lots of wildlife. Highly recommend going in January as the opportunity to view wildlife is pretty much guaranteed as the wildlife is tending to the babies. Highly recommend it!

Everything was perfect. The only suggestion I have to improve is to revise some of your messaging. For example, on the back of the card key it describes that the card can be used to “CHANGE” purchases to the room. I’m sure you mean “CHARGE” purchases. Also the daily briefings were fantastic but the handouts really could benefit from some proofreading. I think you probably re-use the text. Get someone to edit all 11. Anyway, these are just suggestions. Loved our experience

Atlas World Navigator provides a very memorable experience, with an excellent Expedition Team under Jonathan Zaccaria. Additionally, the dining room crew/employees are top-notch in terms of their customer service - probably the best dining crews that I have seen across 5 different cruise lines. Also, Atlas delivered flawless service in terms of handling our luggage all the way from the pre-cruise hotel stay until the baggage pickup at the end of the cruise. I was doubtful about this before the trip, but they were flawless in their execution. Aleks Janjic is a very talented cruise director! The World Navigator is a beautiful ship!

Steakhouse style service from every person. Housekeeping to excursion guides — everybody cared and had an excitement to be there. It was contagious and felt through every interaction. Everybody from Avoya Travel to the staff aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages made Antarctica a very warm place for us.

There really are no words to describe the experience of Antarctica. I don’t think going once in your lifetime is enough, so one day we will be back!

Atlas Ocean Voyages is phenomenal; impeccable service and landings. Really great cruise line to use to go to Antartica!

The World Voyager is an excellent vessel, with great service and food. The overall feel is luxury cruising rather than hard core expedition. The expedition team were very professional and did their very best to maximise the opportunity for us, to keep us safe and protect the environment. The value for money was excellent. Apart from the following opportunities for improvement, I would have rated the cruise 4.5 star. A 10 night cruise to Antarctica only allows a maximum of 5 days actually in the Antarctic Peninsular. Any visit to Antactica is a joy and a wonder, but losing 4 days to the Drake crossing means the time is short. We lost one day trapped in the Beagle Channel so only had 4 days to explore. Weather is a significant risk. Time on shore was limited. This was partly due to the short time available, but also the limit of 100 passengers on shore at any one time. Kayaking was importat to us, but we missed out because there are only 12 places available per outing and conditions have to be very benign to permit this acticvity because participants can be inexperienced. The included wine choices were limited and the quality unexceptional. Worst of all, Atlas unilaterally increased the agreed prices for Kayaking and camping. This was a serious and inexplicable breach of trust, made worse by a total failure to respond to complaints.
