November 9, 2026 — Atlas Ocean Voyages has unveiled a Grand Voyage Collection of longer “Extended Journeys” for 2027 and 2028, each linking two or three back-to-back voyages, plus a new 31-night Extraordinary Expedition from Svalbard to Lisbon in 2028, Cruise Industry News reported on November 8.
What is new
The journeys run on World Navigator, World Traveller and World Voyager and cover the Canary Islands, Morocco, the Mediterranean and Adriatic, Northern Europe and the Arctic. They range from 14 to 26 nights. The new 31-night expedition leaves Longyearbyen, Svalbard, on September 5, 2028, and ends in Lisbon, combining three consecutive voyages. CEO James A. Rodriguez said the longer trips “offer an opportunity to see the world differently.”
The announcement said there are 16 Extended Journeys, but listed 15 (six in 2027 and nine in 2028); the difference was not explained. Fares and the booking-open date were not published (TBA).

What it means for airline travelers
- All of these are one-way trips, so you will need open-jaw flights: into one city and home from another (for example, into Lisbon and home from Stockholm).
- Several journeys start or end in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, a remote Arctic port. Check flight options there before you commit, and build in a spare night — standby is risky on thin routes.
- The May 31, 2028, Rome-to-Lavrion trip is timed around the Monaco Grand Prix, when flights and hotels on the Riviera are usually in heavy demand; book early.
- Lavrion is a port near Athens, and Civitavecchia is Rome’s cruise port; allow transfer time from the airport on both.
- No travel-industry or interline rates were mentioned in the announcement.
