Atlas Ocean Voyages Unveils 2026 Arctic Sailings & New Ports

Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced its 2026 Arctic season, introducing six- and seven-night expeditions and, for the first time, pre-cruise hotel stays, as per a press release.

The 2026 season will feature new ports of call including Skjoldungen Island in Greenland, Stykkishólmur in Iceland, and Senja in Norway.

All expeditions departing from Longyearbyen and Kangerlussuaq will now include a pre-cruise hotel stay, with accommodations provided in Oslo, Norway, the night before the charter flight. Additionally, for the August 31, 2026 departure from Kangerlussuaq, guests will enjoy a pre-cruise hotel night in New York the night before the charter flight.

“Atlas Ocean Voyages continues to leverage our smaller size to expand expedition experiences including exploring Svalbard, which will soon not be accessible to larger ships with stringent restrictions,” shares James A. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages.

“I am enthused by the Arctic program the team has assembled for the 2026 season, especially these sailings, which enable guests to explore the most remote regions.”

Guests can embark on a seven-night voyage from Tromsø to Longyearbyen, visiting Norwegian ports like Hammerfest and Skarsvåg (North Cape), culminating in Svalbard. This journey departs on May 22, 2026. Additionally, six- or seven-night roundtrip expeditions from Longyearbyen are available on May 29, June 5, and June 11, 2026.

For those interested in exploring Iceland and Greenland, there are 10- to 15-night expeditions departing on July 29, July 31, August 11 (solar eclipse), August 15, August 20, August 30, August 31, and September 10, 2026.

Additionally, two sailings in 2026 will feature the Norwegian fjords and Svalbard, departing on June 18 and July 19, 2026.
