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.
