Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced its 2026 Arctic season, featuring six- and seven-night expeditions and for the first time, pre-cruise hotel stays, according to a press release.
The 2026 season will also include new ports of call such as Skjoldungen Island in Greenland, Stykkishólmur in Iceland and Senja, Norway.
All expeditions departing from Longyearbyen and Kangerluusuaq will 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, a pre-cruise hotel night will be offered 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 join a seven-night voyage from Tromsø to Longyearbyen, visiting Norwegian ports like Hammerfest and Skarsvåg (North Cape), ending in Svalbard. This voyage departs on May 22, 2026. Additionally, a six- or seven-night roundtrip from Longyearbyen is available on May 29, June 5, and June 11, 2026.
To explore Iceland and Greenland, travelers can select from 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.
Two 2026 sailings feature the Norwegian fjords and Svalbard, departing June 18, and July 19, 2026.
