Destinations

Four places at the ends of the earth. One is fully underway, and three are next.

Antarctica

The centerpiece of Atlas Expedition Guide.

I sail National Geographic’s Antarctica Direct: Sail and Fly the Drake itinerary in December 2026. The full Antarctica guide library is publishing now, covering ships, costs, timing, the Drake Passage, fly-cruise options, and expedition planning.

Alaska

The expedition destination I have already sailed.

The Alaska guides will compare small-ship expedition cruising with mainstream Inside Passage cruises, including what the higher price buys you and when a larger ship may honestly be the better choice.

Full guides arrive in 2027.

Galápagos

The islands that helped define expedition cruising.

The upcoming guides will cover yachts versus larger expedition ships, eastern and western itinerary loops, wildlife timing, and the true cost of combining a cruise with time in mainland Ecuador.

Full guides arrive in early 2027.

The Arctic

Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, and the Northwest Passage.

The Arctic guides will cover polar bear voyages, Greenland’s fjords and communities, Iceland circumnavigations, Northwest Passage itineraries, ship comparisons, and month-by-month timing.

Full guides arrive in 2027.
