Atlas Ocean Voyages - World Voyager Reviews

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.

Exceeded my expectations.

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.

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!

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.

this trip was everything we hoped for and more!

Unfortunately, due to mechanical problems with the propulsion system, the cruise was cancelled. However, the team of the World Voyager saw to our every comfort and undertook heroic efforts to place those of us who wanted to continue to Antarctica on other cruise ships at no cost to travelers. For those travelers who were unable to change their original plans, a full refund was to be provided. This would have been my second cruise with Atlas, and it would be a great pleasure to travel on an Atlas ship in the future. I am sure to recommend Atlas to others.

The cruise was CANCELLED. The only redeeming thing about Atlas was they booked us on the Lindblad/National Geographic Excursion, which proved to be an outstanding experience.

Apparently there was something wrong with the ship so after starting out, turning back, and sitting in port at Ushuaia for two days they cancelled the cruise. Huge disappointment.
