From November 2023 through March 2024, World Navigator and World Traveller will return to the continent, offering 23 voyages. They range from nine to 20 nights, nearly all round-trip Ushuaia, Argentina.
World Navigator will operate Antarctic Peninsula voyages while World Traveller embarks on more comprehensive regional expeditions.
Combining adventure and luxury
'World Navigator and World Traveller offer the perfect combination of adventure and luxury on an Antarctica expedition,' said Alberto Aliberti, president of Atlas Ocean Voyages. 'Atlas focuses on boots-on-the-ground and feet-in-the-water expeditions that travelers may have waited a lifetime to experience. With Atlas, travelers can start at the top of their bucket list for an immersive and transformative expedition to Antarctica.'
Paddle boarding adventure
In Antarctica, Atlas travelers can expect up to two outings from the ship daily, depending on weather and sea conditions. Zodiac, kayak and paddle board excursions are led by a seasoned expedition team.
Nine- and 11-night itineraries
World Navigator will offer 13 departures beginning on Nov. 9, 2023. Travelers can choose from nine- and 11-night itineraries that focus on the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. These offer four days exploring Antarctica on the nine-night voyages while the 11-night voyages offer six days cruising the region and cross the Antarctic Circle to earn membership in the Order of the Blue Nose. Both itineraries also include a scenic cruise by Cape Horn, Chile, South America's southernmost point.
At the end of the season, World Navigator will embark on a special 14-night itinerary that combines the Falkland Islands and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands for the chance to see colonies of wildlife like king penguins. The itinerary also includes Punta del Este and Montevideo, Uruguay, and concludes with an overnight in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
More immersive expeditions
World Traveller offers 13-, 16- and 20-night immersive expeditions with a combination of the Antarctic Peninsula, the South Shetland Islands, Diego Ramirez Islands, Falkland Islands and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. Nearly all World Traveller expeditions pass through the Lemaire Channel, considered one of the most dramatic Antarctic landscapes, and cross the Antarctica Circle.
Bookending the season, World Traveller trans-Atlantic crossings are a 12-night, westbound itinerary departing Oct. 24, 2023, from the Canary Islands to Recife, Brazil, via West Africa, with calls at Dakhla, Western Sahara; Dakar, Senegal; and Banjul, the Gambia. To conclude the season, World Traveller departs March 13, 2024, from Ushuaia to Cape Town, South Africa on a 19-night voyage. This gives two days in the Falkland Islands, three days in the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands,and three days in Tristan da Cunha in the Southern Atlantic.
