World Navigator - Atlas Ashore™

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.

World Navigator - Porto

Porto

The vision for Atlas Ocean Voyages was conceived in Portugal, so our elegant main restaurants pay homage to that heritage with Madeira aboard World Voyager, Lisboa aboard World Traveller and Porto aboard World Navigator.

Here you’ll find an indulgent breakfast buffet with an array of pastries, fruit, jams, freshly churned butter and peanut butter, cold meats, bacon and a selection of fruit juices. A made-to-order menu features omelets, waffles and frittatas. For lunch, enjoy an abundant buffet with hot and cold options, carving stations, and a variety of salads and desserts.

Five-course dinner menus showcase classic favorites such as chicken breast, Black Angus tenderloin and grilled salmon. When you’re feeling adventurous, your palate can take a culinary journey on board, from delectable appetizers, like braised rabbit with butternut squash puree, to decadent desserts, such as alfajores, German black forest cake or pistachio lemon raspberry delight, from various regional cuisines featured each evening.

Plus, each regional menu offers complementary plant-based, vegan options – like an appetizer of organic tomato soup with cassoulet chez maison for dinner and a dessert of crepe suzette – that you can feel free to mix and match with that evening’s offerings.

Our main restaurants also offer the specialty Alma multi-course menu on select evenings. Alma means “soul” in Portuguese and this authentic dining experience, paired with Portuguese wines, showcases the gastronomic soul of Portugal, an ode to the line’s beginnings. Authentic recipes passed down for generations are prepared using artisanal techniques, cookware and ingredients, introducing you to the essence of Portuguese culinary culture.

Menus change daily, providing your taste buds with a new adventure every day. And you can enjoy it all when dining indoors or while enjoying a fresh sea breeze out on the deck, weather permitting.
