A JOURNEY
OF EXPLORATION

Embark on a grand journey of discovery, exploring the cultures, cuisine and wine of the Mediterranean, Holy Land and Egypt aboard an intimate yacht with fewer than 200 like-minded explorers. Enjoy culinary demonstrations and tastings on board led by esteemed sommeliers and acclaimed chefs. Then head ashore with a local guide to explore farmers’ markets, sample regional cuisine, and discover the simple pleasures of each destination firsthand.
EPICUREAN: HAVING AN APPRECIATION FOR LIFE’S FINER PLEASURES
The Greek philosopher Epicurus believed that happiness is found in simple pleasures. The modern term “epicurean” has come to describe an appreciation for fine food and wine, while the ancient philosophy of Epicurus promoted the pursuit of learning and meaningful conversations with friends. Atlas Ocean Voyages now offers you an epicurean experience in every sense of the word.
EXPEDITION: A JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION
An expedition sets forth with a purpose, exploring a corner of the world in depth. Expedition teams return time and again to far-flung destinations, making new discoveries and gaining new perspectives with each voyage. These life-changing experiences inevitably inspire a deep sense of camaraderie when shared with a small group of fellow explorers.
