What is included in an Atlas Cruise

When you visit Iceland by ship not only can you visit lava fields and black sand beaches but you can visit the blue lagoon. Basking in natural hot springs and taking advantage of geothermal spas. Yet do all of this without the high costs that we typically see on cruises, because Atlas covers just about everything! On every Atlas cruise enjoy the following free inclusions 

ALWAYS INCLUDED

  • FREE cultural immersion
  • FREE gourmet dining with ever-changing menus
  • FREE unlimited beverages, including fine wines, spirits and craft beers
  • FREE open bars and lounges, including 24-hour bar service with specialty canapés
  • FREE stocked in-room minibar
  • FREE specialty coffees, teas and fresh-pressed juices
  • FREE afternoon and high tea
  • FREE champagne and gourmet canapés during meet and greet
  • FREE 24-hour room service, including spirits, wine and beer
  • FREE L’OCCITANE bath amenities
  • FREE pre-paid gratuities
  • FREE use of walking sticks and binoculars
  • FREE reusable water bottle
  • FREE butler service and expanded room service menu in suites

On Cruises to the Arctic, there are even charter flights included in the cost! Enjoy private jet charter service from Oslo on expeditions beginning and ending in Longyearbyen and or New York (JFK) on trip that start or end in Kangerlussuaq.

  • Private group transfers between the ship and the airport
  • Take-home parka and vest, plus the use of walking sticks, binoculars and knee boots
  • Landings and escorted sightseeing safaris by Zodiac led by expert field guides 

What’s Not Included

There are VERY few things you will need to pay for on your cultural or Arctic expedition, but there are a few things that do cost extra. Such as the Spa. If you want a massage you will pay for this. On polar expedition cruises, all your zodiac tours included. On cultural expeditions, there are standard excursions which do have added charges. You can see the planned optional excursions in the brochure or opt to get off the ship and do your own thing!

Daily landings, hikes, zodiac rides, etc are always included in Greenland and Svalbard and if the weather cooperates you will get off the ship multiple times a day in the arctic. Yet there are a few extra activities that you can opt into that are not included in the cost to make your trip even more awe inspiring.

Extra excursions such as Kayaking cost $200 for at least 3 opportunities/kayaking excursions. Plus Atlas also has stand up paddle boards for the adventurous for $150 per outing and ocean paddling too. Test your luck and maybe take an extra Polar plunge in the arctic while on a SUP.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for the best deal on a Svalbard or Greenland Cruise, this deal is for you. It’s rare to nearly impossible to go to Greenland on an all inclusive luxury trip for this price point. Although I cannot publish the price online, I cannot wait to share this deal with you privately. Email me asap to lock in these prices. This deal expires March 20, 2024. Do not delay, as rooms are filling up and with only 98 rooms per ship, space is limited!
