Ultimate Cruising is excited to advise we are working with a fantastic new cruise line, Atlas Ocean Voyages.  Whilst the cruise line has been in operation for a couple of years now, we now have access to some amazing itineraries with them.   And when we say amazing itineraries, we mean incredible, unique experiences that you are going to want to share!

Atlas Ocean Voyages have three ships in their fleet – World Voyager (maiden voyage 2020), World Navigator (maiden voyage 2021) and World Traveller (maiden voyage 2022).  All ships pride themselves on the Atlas signature style of “relaxed luxury with highly personal service and destination immersions with a distinguishing and timeless Italian design inspired by La Dolce Vita.”  Sounds good already, doesn’t it?

While the facilities on the ships are just superb (think all-inclusive voyages with refined accommodations, a choice of dining venues, lounges, bars and more), it’s the itineraries themselves that have got the Ultimate Cruising team excited. 

From Mediterranean sojourns to Antarctic adventures, there are voyages to suit everyone.  But what sets Atlas apart are the extras included in the voyages.  The Cultural Expeditions immerse guests in unique and vibrant history, art, architecture, folklore and local communities.  You’ll enjoy hands-on experiences with free enrichment programmes and workshops as well as local experiences and on board events as part of your cruise.  In addition, there’s also a large range of optional excursions available such as exploring a reborn Viking village in Norway and learn the art of Viking warfare with a true Viking descendant.  Or create your own wine blend in Uruguay, visit a local family in their home in Sandnes or learn about The Skibberean Famine and visit a local Irish pub in Ireland.

The Epicurean expeditions are a true treat with culinary experiences ashore such as market visits, specialty tastings, meals and more.  You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in cooking demonstrations and cuisine tastings on board as well as enjoy events hosted by a Tastes & Traditions Expert on selected expeditions.

If you’re setting off on a polar expedition, you’ll enjoy a private charter jet service with private group transfers, enrichment lectures, shore landings led by expert field guides and Zodiac sightseeing safaris.  You’ll also receive a free Ocean Voyages parka and vest, free use of knee boots and more.

Now if that sounds good … wait, there’s more.  We have a range of Atlas voyages that have been packaged up with a land component to give you an even more amazing experience!  For example, the Mediterranean Morsels package includes a gorgeous 7 night epicurean cruise from Barcelona to Rome via the gorgeous French Riviera (think fabulous French food and wine!) followed by a 12-night small group tour from Rome to Venice, staying in rural Tuscany, Ligurian Riviera, Lake Maggiore and more.  Can you see why we are so excited about these itineraries?  Absolutely bellissimo!  The tour takes a maximum of 18 people so it’s very personal and you’ll get to participate in activities such as preparing a classic Tuscan lunch, truffle hunting with a local farmer and his dog and wine-tasting near Lake Como.  It really doesn’t get much better than this!

Now, if the Mediterranean Morsels itinerary sounds as good to you as it does to us, and you book by 30 September 2024, you’ll save $5805 per person!  See below for more details or take a look at the package here.
