Atlas Ocean Voyages has unveiled its 2026 Arctic expedition cruise season, which includes new pre-cruise hotel stays.
From May through September, the company will offer six- and seven-night voyages aboard its ships, World Voyager and World Navigator.
And, for the first time ever, the brand is offering pre-cruise hotel stays in Oslo or New York for departures from Longyearbyen and Kangerluusuaq. Charter flights are also included for trips starting or ending in Longyearbyen or Kangerlussuaq.
Guests will be able to explore remote destinations in Norway, Iceland and Greenland, with excursions ranging from Zodiac sightseeing safaris to shore landings and cultural immersion experiences.
“Atlas Ocean Voyages continues to leverage our smaller size to expand expedition experiences including exploring Svalbard, which will soon not be accessible to larger ships with stringent restrictions,” says James A. Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of Atlas Ocean Voyages.
“I am enthused by the Arctic program the team has assembled for the 2026 season, especially these sailings, which enable guests to explore the most remote regions,” Rodriguez continued.
