ANTARCTICA CRUISE WITH ATLAS OCEAN VOYAGES
We sailed on this 9-night Antarctica cruise on the new Atlas ocean voyages ship World Voyager. This atlas ocean voyages Antarctica cruise included embarkation day, 4 sea days, and 4 ports of call. Due to the nature of this expedition cruise, three of the 4 days were considered the captain’s choice.
One thing we should have realized about Antarctica cruises is that they are highly regulated. So, the time ashore during our Atlas Ocean voyages Antarctica expedition was much shorter than we expected. The good thing about booking this trip with Atlas Ocean Voyages is that everything is included. This included the charter flight to Ushuaia, all onboard meals and drinks, as well as most shore excursions.
The cruise line also provides a parka, and use of gear like boots and walking sticks during the voyage. Onboard, Atlas Ocean Voyages offers a traditional cruise experience. We really appreciated this aspect of our Antarctica Cruise. Getting to explore ashore or on a zodiac and then returning to our sailing yacht’s comforts made this trip easier on our not-so-adventurous bodies.
The food on Atlas Ocean Voyages was on par with our previous experiences sailing with a small cruise ship company. Given a maximum of 200 cruisers onboard, we understand there are fewer food options than we are used to being on megaships.
When it came to the onboard enrichment, the expedition on our Atlas Ocean Voyages Antarctica cruise was terrific. They really made the trip from the daily sessions and recap to their professionalism and support ashore. This was one aspect of the cruise where World Voyager shined for us.
While we liked the enrichment there could have been more onboard activities and events as there is a lot of downtime in between outings on an Antarctica Cruise. Perhaps some more non-guided entertainment like a library, game room, or other edutainment.
Still, we are so glad we did this trip, as it was a bucket list item, and Atlas Ocean Voyages did a fantastic job.

Would you consider taking a cruise to Antarctica? 🇦🇶
How much was this cruise?
Happy New Year Heidi & Don. Please keep the awesome videos coming in 2024!!! Safe travels.
I'm cold just watching this video 🥶! Love the shots of all the penguins
thank you. i plan to sail in Antarctica in about 3 years. I have to wait for enough vacation time from work to accumulate.
Thank you for a great video! You’ve got me seriously considering an Antarctica cruise!
What is the entertainment like? A must for us. Thanks for sharing
Man! Look at the cracks on the airplane’s wing structure, check it at 1:49
Is this a random video of an airplane approach or it’s really the airplane you used to fly to Ushuaia?
It’s really scary man!!!!
We are going on Atlas on1/23/23. Vid was very helpful
How about a video on a cruise visiting Australia or Asia – I rarely see vloggers do that itinerary.
We just started cruising again after 10 years of not going. We're going on a 3 day Disney cruise this week!!! We usually go to the Caribbean.
Loved this. thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. 💖
Wow! So impressive! I can’t believe what an awesome deal this was!!! Beautiful cabin ❤
Simply amazing cruise. Sorry the excursions were not what you hoped for! I’d be happy with binoculars and a deck chair 😅😅 I don’t care for onboard activity, perfect fit for me.
One of the best travel videos I've ever seen on YouTube, and I've been here since the beginning! Absolutely jaw-dropping!!!
We just got off the Dec 14-26 one. Absolutely perfect weather and perfect trip. I can't recommend Atlas enough. Although I heard the more recent trips haven't had the same luck. As someone who just got off the sister ship (the World Traveler), everything he said in this video was accurate.
Absolutely, i would
Why didnt you go with Viking??
Love the rea service!
Out of this world images & scenery, thank you for your video❤. We traveled to Antartica some months back & it was absolutely incredible to be there, once in a life time experience. Cheers from Melbourne 🍷!
