Atlas
Ocean Voyages is giving expedition cruisers more ways to customize their
trips in 2026, rolling out an enhanced version of its popular Explorer’s Choice
promotion that doubles the perks on select sailings.
The luxury
expedition line announced a new Enhanced Explorer’s
Choice offer that lets guests pick two complimentary amenities — no matter
what type of stateroom they book — on a limited number of 2026 voyages. The
promotion is available for new bookings made between January 2 and March 31,
2026.
Normally, Explorer’s Choice
allows guests in standard staterooms to select one amenity, while suite guests
can choose two. That standard version of the program is also returning for all
other 2026 and 2027 sailings, giving travelers plenty of flexibility even if
they aren’t sailing on one of the enhanced departures.
Both the enhanced
and standard Explorer’s Choice offers can also be paired with bonus savings of up
to 40 percent on select voyages, making it one of Atlas’ strongest
promotions for the coming seasons.
Explorer’s Choice
is designed to let guests decide what matters most for their trip, with a menu
of add-ons that can make an expedition cruise smoother, easier and more
comfortable. Available amenities include things like:
- Air credits for
travelers who prefer to book their own flights
- Pre-expedition
hotel stays or land programs
- Enhanced Unlimited
Wi-Fi for stronger onboard connectivity
The amenities are
capacity-controlled and can be combined with select promotional discounts,
giving travelers and advisors more flexibility to build a trip that fits their
budget and travel style.
