Après Sea

After your day of exploring, our inviting social spaces encourage you to come as you are, relax and reflect on your amazing adventures with fellow explorers over cocktails and canapés, a tradition we refer to as Après Expedition.

The Dome

Relive the day’s adventures with like-minded explorers as you gaze out upon 270-degree and overhead views with drinks in hand or during afternoon tea. Enjoy a talented pianist and energetic Cruise Director as they put on a lively and entertaining show each evening.

Atlas Lounge

Amid stylish décor and a relaxing atmosphere throughout the day, look out at the stunning scenery from picture windows. Feel a sense of ease with a book in one hand and drink in the other. Or gather for pre-dinner cocktails and friendly trivia competitions.

7 AFT Pool Bar

Lean back and relax for a casual moment at the 7AFT Pool Bar. From a lunch of tasty burgers, salads, flat breads and other classic favorites to fresh-pressed juices, smoothies and craft beer options, you’ll find the perfect meal to share with new friends. Or enjoy a sweet treat of handmade ice cream at the cart on deck.

Zephyr Lounge

When it’s time to set sail, settle into a cozy couch on the aft deck at the Zephyr Lounge. As you enjoy a morning coffee or the perfect nightcap at the end of the evening, watch the scenic coastline diminish on the horizon.

Open Bridge

Visit the Captain’s command center for a peek into charting a course. See the world from their perspective, at the Captain’s discretion, gaining a new appreciation for the art of navigation.

Water’s Edge

Just 30 feet above the sea’s surface, the open deck of Water’s Edge is the perfect place to watch for whales, dolphins and other marine life while enjoying the comfort of heated seating.

Atlas Ashore™

Atlas Ocean Voyages takes great care to ensure you explore as far and wide as you wish, be it before, during or after your expedition. During your journey, guided outings ashore let you delve deep into the history, culture and natural wonders of each destination.

Free Cultural Immersion On Every Voyage

Learn to make traditional Ligurian pesto in the beautiful seaside village of Porto Venere. Listen to classical music amid the ancient ruins of Ephesus in the evening, long after all visitors have gone. Explore the UNESCO-listed Tierra del Fuego before embarking on an Antarctica expedition. Immerse yourself into history, nature and culture with a FREE excursion that may include sampling regional specialties, tasting regional wines, escorted local market visits, guided tours of local traditions and more.

Epicurean Expedition Excursions

Whether your Epicurean Expedition finds you in the Mediterranean, British Isles or Northern Europe, experience all of the region’s culinary delights, marquee sights, hidden treasures and cultural traditions with our immersive shoreside excursions. Tour Barcelona’s famed La Boqueria market with a chef to find ingredients for your private cooking class. Go truffle hunting in the Tuscan countryside or create your own personal fragrance with the guidance of a master perfumer in Cannes. Some destinations, like the colorful villages climbing the Amalfi Coast cliffs, are best experienced from the sea. So head to the yacht’s marina to board a FREE kayak or paddle board and set off in search of the most scenic stretch of coastline.

Polar Expedition Excursions

On expeditions in Antarctica, the Arctic and Norwegian Fjords, Iceland and Greenland, your captain quietly navigates to the ideal position for wildlife viewing, where you can set off on a Zodiac, kayak or paddle board – escorted by expert field guides – in search of breaching whales or sunbathing seals. The most epic moment may come when you set foot on a massive glacier and follow your guide to a local penguin colony or spot a polar bear diving from an ice floe. Take the polar plunge into Arctic and Antarctic waters from the yacht’s marina. Call on more modern destinations, like the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík, Norway’s Lofoten Islands, and Nuuk, the largest city in Greenland. Immersive excursions to national museums, local markets, natural spas and more reveal how human culture carves out an existence amidst the majestic fjords and glaciers.

Extend Your Expedition

Should you wish to spend more time in the fascinating cities where your voyage begins or concludes, Atlas Ocean Voyages can assist with hotels – including a FREE 1-Night Pre-Cruise Hotel Stay for all Antarctica expeditions. We also offer pre- and post-expedition multi-day Land Programs to iconic sights that lie inland from the port. To ensure a seamless travel experience from the moment you leave your home until the time you return, we also offer assistance with air travel, and transfers between the airport, the yacht and hotels.

Polar Plunge

Accept the challenge to plunge from the yacht into the icy waters of the Arctic or Antarctica as your fellow explorers cheer you on, a thrilling and invigorating experience unlike any other.

Zodiac Safaris

Our expedition team navigates custom-built Zodiac boats along icy waters just inches from floating icebergs, glacier-covered shores, and even breaching whales. Watch for porpoising penguins in Antarctic seas and polar bears on the prowl in the Arctic.

Our Zodiacs will take you ashore up to twice daily under suitable conditions. Amid the spectacular polar landscapes, our expedition team leads glacial hikes and guides you in safe observation of the local wildlife.

Sea Kayaking

On an optional kayaking excursion in Antarctica, the scale of the polar seascape seems even grander as you paddle past electric blue icebergs and soaring glacial cliffs while seabirds dive for food and marine mammals surface for air.

Antarctic Camping

If conditions are suitable, Polar Expeditions in Antarctica may offer the chance to camp overnight on the White Continent, a surreal experience of endless light and palpable silence.

Polar Expedition Team

Every Polar Expedition is led by a team of up to 17 wilderness guides, naturalists, mountaineers, biologists, conservationists and other professionals who have explored Antarctica, Patagonia, the Arctic and remote destinations the world over.

Conscious Navigation

Conscious Navigation | Explore Your World, Leave Only Footprints

As responsible global citizens, we set out to lessen our footprint in the breathtaking destinations we visit. We always make the effort to show respect for all, from the ecosystems to the wildlife we encounter. Taking these careful actions helps us keep the environment thriving for today’s explorers and future generations.

Ocean Stewardship

Our intimate yachts realize the possibilities of environmental stewardship with the latest hybrid power management and propulsion systems, maximizing fuel efficiency and consuming as low as one-fifth the fuel compared to conventional cruise-ship systems, reducing our impact on the environment.

Closer Without Intruding

We minimize underwater noise that stresses marine wildlife by using a hydro-jet propulsion system that allows us to cruise virtually silent up to five knots for incomparable, up-close encounters while keeping the sensitive ecosystem in mind. It’s also our responsibility to prevent damage to the fragile ecosystems on ocean floors. That’s why we avoid using anchors to maintain ship position by using a GPS-based Dynamic Position System.

Doing Our Part

It’s important to make the effort to keep waterways clear for a cleaner environment. By building our yachts with the latest and most advanced waste management and water treatment plant in the cruise industry, we take the proper steps to control waste on board. That includes storing litter that cannot be repurposed or reclaimed in a dedicated hold until landing, where it will be disposed of responsibly. Plus, we offer still and sparkling water delivered in a FREE reusable water bottle on board to help reduce waste.
