If you have ever dreamed of intimately exploring the polar regions, then you have come to the right place. Secret Atlas expeditions take the smallest group sizes in the Arctic (only 12 guests) and Antarctic (only 48 guests). We are low-impact, sustainable and offer our guests an authentic, once-in-a-lifetime experience free from the crowds of larger vessels.

What makes Secret Atlas unique?

Intimate Group Experience

We believe in the value of intimate polar encounters. Unlike large expedition cruise ships that accommodate hundreds of passengers, we limit our groups to just 12 guests, offering a more personal and immersive adventure.

World-Class Expedition Leaders & Guides  

Our knowledgeable guides have a deep passion for the polar regions and bring years of exploration experience to ensure our guests have an exceptional trip. With the highest guide-to-guest ratio, they are dedicated to maximizing the experience.

Comfortable Accommodations

Our ships are designed to offer optimal comfort during your voyage. Featuring a variety of twin, double, and single ensuite cabins, along with modern amenities and spacious viewing platforms, our guests can relax and enjoy a comfortable journey.

No Single Supplement Charges  

Our guests can enjoy MV Vikingfjord voyages without any concerns about extra fees for single supplements, ensuring that solo travel is both hassle-free and affordable.

Exciting Zodiac Shore Landings

Throughout our voyage, we embark on daily shore landings using our specialized vessel’s landing craft, allowing us to venture into remote and untouched locations, providing an exceptional opportunity to immerse ourselves in the untamed wilderness firsthand.

Witness the Marvels of Wildlife

Our guests have the opportunity to witness extraordinary wildlife in their natural habitats. From observing penguin colonies in South Georgia to encountering magnificent whales in Antarctica, and having unforgettable encounters with polar bears, or the majestic muskoxen in Greenland.

Breathtaking Natural Landscapes

The landscapes we explore with our guests are beyond words. From the steep-sided fjords of Svalbard to the rugged mountainous landscapes of South Georgia, the vast ice deserts of Antarctica, and the giant icebergs of Greenland.
