Visiting at the best time of year for wildlife, the Northern Lights and incredible scenery, Secret Atlas is inviting just 12 guests per voyage to step off the beaten track and into the remote, unscheduled wilderness of the High Arctic.

Moving away from the crowds offered by larger cruise ships, the small size expedition is designed for maximum exploration and minimal impact.

On an Expedition Micro Cruise, guests spend more time where it matters most: ashore, on the water, or exploring remote fjords that are inaccessible to larger vessels.

With just 12 passengers on board, it’s the ideal setting for a private family adventure on a charter, couples wanting to get the most out of the trip and solo travellers looking to make connections with like-minded explorers.
