Here's the link to full description of Atlas World Voyager Cruise
Crossing the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel, you enter what feels like another world, connecting with your inner explorer. It’s a space rarely navigated, with narrower channels that bring you closer to ice floes, snow-capped mountain peaks and wondrous icebergs. As you join the Order of the Red Nose, you will explore the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands with the guidance of an expert expedition team.

A sense of awe swells within as you come within a safe distance of incredible wildlife like chinstrap penguins or Weddell seals, a serene moment that leaves you feeling more in community with nature. Watch the waters closely and have your camera ready when expedition team members call out humpback whale sightings, an experience best shared with like-minded explorers. On a Zodiac safari through icy waters, the mesmerizing blue within the icebergs invites you to marvel upon them in wonder.
