Discover the Arctic with Atlas Ocean Voyages

Atlas Ocean Voyages leverages its small ships to bring explorers deeper — into fjords, around glaciers, and ashore to places larger ships can’t reach - bringing guests into the heart of Arctic life. Every polar expedition features a complimentary cultural-immersion experience, from Indigenous village visits (like Ittoqqortoormiit or Ilulissat in Greenland) to engaging with local traditions, tasting regional delicacies, and gaining insight into Arctic life. Each voyage has an adventure built right in where guests enjoy Zodiac safaris, shore landings guided by expert expedition teams, and even the daring option of a polar plunge. 

For 2026, Atlas is expanding its Arctic reach. Guests will explore Skjoldungen Island in Greenland, a remote uninhabited gem rarely visited by larger cruise ships. On the Norwegian front, “miniature Norway” comes alive via Senja, dubbed the “island of adventure,” while Stykkishólmur in Iceland offers rich cultural immersion. Whether you’re eager to set foot on remote Greenland shores, witness towering fjords, or savour the wild serenity of Svalbard, this lineup promises something unforgettable, as Atlas Ocean Voyages opens the door to some of the Arctic’s most spectacular and less-travelled corners.

Enjoy a small sample of Atlas Ocean Voyages’ signature yacht-style expeditions, all wrapped in luxury, intimacy, and discovery, aboard the 196-guest World Navigator®. If you are dreaming of soaring icebergs, remote coastal villages, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, these four departures are prime opportunities to start  your Arctic adventure search.
