Antarctica with the flights from Miami included, and only 196 guests.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is the young American line that put expedition yachting within reach: three 196-guest sisters, World Navigator, World Traveller and World Voyager, built in 2021 to 2023 with hybrid propulsion, a water-level marina and Zodiacs, and a fare that includes drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and a guided excursion in every port. It suits travelers who want Antarctica without the logistics, because many departures include round-trip air from Miami and the charter to Ushuaia, and who then want the same yacht for Iceland and the Arctic in summer, the Mediterranean and the Holy Land in spring and fall, and South America or Canada and New England in between. SmartCruiser shows every Atlas sailing with taxes and fees included, puts SmartCruiser picks first, and adds SmartCruiser bonus onboard credit per stateroom on sailings where the line allows it.

Atlas questions we answer every day
What is included on Atlas?
Drinks including premium spirits and wine, gratuities, Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, specialty dining, L’Occitane amenities and a guided excursion in every port; in Antarctica every landing and Zodiac cruise, a parka to keep, boots to borrow, and emergency medical evacuation insurance. Many Antarctica departures also include round-trip flights from Miami and the charter to Ushuaia, which we confirm on the exact date before you book.
How bad is the Drake Passage?
Two days each way from Ushuaia, from flat to rough, and the yachts are small enough to feel it. They are stabilized and the doctor hands out patches; most guests spend the crossing at lectures and the bar. Atlas does not fly the Drake, so if it worries you we can show you lines that do.
How big are the yachts and the cabins?
196 guests, which keeps every Antarctica landing inside the 100-ashore limit so you get two outings a day. Nearly every stateroom has a balcony or a Juliet balcony that opens the whole wall, suites have butlers, and the yachts have a sauna, a small pool, a water-level marina and glass-walled lounges. There is no casino and no formal night.
Which departures include the flights?
Most Antarctica departures include either round-trip air from Miami plus the charter to Ushuaia, or the charter alone with a flight credit; the offer changes by date and by the time of booking. Outside Antarctica Atlas sells air add-ons from the US. We check the exact inclusion on the date you choose and compare it with booking your own flights.
Do I need a passport or visa?
A passport valid six months beyond your trip. US citizens need no visa for Argentina, Chile, Iceland, Greenland, Norway or the EU; Egypt issues a visa on arrival and Israel an electronic travel authorization, both of which we flag when you book. Antarctica itself has no border control; the yacht holds the permit.
Are taxes and fees included in the prices here?
Yes. Every price on this page includes the voyage fare, taxes, fees and port expenses. Flights are extra unless the departure includes them, and hotels and optional activities are extra unless the fare you choose says otherwise.
