Atlas Ocean Voyages presents: Caribbean exclusivity without the price tag

Atlas Ocean Voyages has a brand-new boutique Caribbean expedition cruise to offer, taking you on an exclusive tour of shimmering reefs and gloriously sun-soaked coastline. The new itinerary visits a plethora of islands that showcase a perfect blend of recognised culture and lesser-travelled Caribbean cool, radiating to the beat of hip-swaying reggae and local flavours.

Setting sail aboard World Voyager on April 24, 2024, the new Atlas cruise will operate an eight-night all-inclusive roundtrip from Barbados, launching the cruise line’s ‘Warm water expeditions’ to the UK market – taking you between bustling pirate hideouts and blissful tranquillity.

Of course, Barbados remains a favourite destination with the British travelling public – especially those seeking a Caribbean cruise. It’s an incredibly busy port that can strike the wrong chord when overcrowding affects popular tourist areas. The difference is, with Atlas, you can experience the Caribbean without shoulder-barging through dense crowds and swarms of globetrotters.

There’s no need to feverishly grab a table in a busy café and protect it with your life, nor is there cause for meeting the dawn with an early rise to be first in line for scuba gear – Atlas has all this taken care of.

From luxury onboard accommodation that takes you directly into the Caribbean heart, to elegant dining and exclusive views – this is a very special Caribbean expedition cruise offering a bespoke take on America’s tropical ecstasy.

Atlas presents: The best Caribbean expedition cruise

With an Atlas Caribbean experience, you can absorb the magic of sugar-sand beaches and the location’s diverse traditions, while savouring Atlas’ succulent dining experience, accompanied by their all-inclusive beverage package – before chilling in elegantly comfortable surroundings. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

From those scintillating mountain peaks that carve the skyline, to the splendour of a native lifestyle that awakens with each exotic sunrise, Atlas Ocean Voyages provides an itinerary across various idyllic Caribbean islands to tantalise your soul.

Port calls include Dominica, Iles de Saintes, Montserrat and Martinique; conjuring a real taste of the stunning region’s delicacies and philosophy. And, as one of Atlas Ocean Voyages’ trademark “Cultural Expeditions”, this Caribbean cruise immerses itself in cultural learnings and impressive heritage.

Whereas those landlocked in hotels are required to hike between prime locations, and plan their own excursions accordingly, Atlas takes you straight there in the comfort of the elegantly appointed yacht – World Voyager. Akin to a life hack of the most stylish measure, you can literally step off the vessel and delve right in.

With direct flights to Barbados from London and Manchester, and a late departure of 11pm, it is possible to travel directly to the ship, with no need for an overnight hotel. And with fly/cruise prices leading in at just £2,289 per person for veranda accommodation, this is an opportunity not to be missed. And trust us, we know about these things.

Meet World Voyager: Your home from home

Launched during the winter of 2023, World Voyager is the third ship in Atlas Ocean Voyages’ fleet of expedition yachts. Boasting a hybrid between traditional elegance and modern luxury, few other vessels offer this level of intimacy and freedom. Usually found traversing the seascapes of Antarctic regions and Northern Europe, the ship’s Caribbean presence makes the voyage extra special.

After a day of exploration beneath the Caribbean’s gleaming sun, World Voyager permits indulgence of a new kind – soaking up the Caribbean's tangy vibes from the comfort of your balcony accommodation or modern suite.

Travelling solo? Atlas Ocean Voyages offers accommodations exclusively for those on a solo Caribbean cruise. Although, with Atlas’ epic social spaces, we doubt you’ll be solo for long. The eight-deck yacht is remarkably easy to get around, with all of the bars, dining rooms, lounges, spas and public spaces located on the fourth and seventh floors.

The expedition cruise line typically attracts free-spirited and like-minded travellers, creating a social environment destined to ease the stresses of modern life and rediscover the real you.

All accommodation comes with a spacious bathroom outfitted with plush L'Occitane amenities, deluxe bedding designed for dreaming and flat-screen TVs with state-of-the-art infotainment systems for downtime. Plus, a real favourite with the UK market – in-room tea & coffee making facilities!

Gaze at the horizon as you replay the adventures of the day, echoed by the best slices of entertainment from your television – if you subscribe to such things. Fancy a midnight drink instead, or a late supper, as the moon rises over Caribbean paradise? World Voyager has you covered.

The expedition yacht also provides sleek aesthetics, which adds a deep sense of heritage to proceedings; capturing the art-deco spirit of those original expedition trailblazers.
