April 2025 – In support of Earth Day on 22nd April 2025 and this year’s theme OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, Secret Atlas is featuring three Arctic Expedition Micro Cruises showcasing the power of transformative exploration for conscious explorers.
Offering a rare glimpse into a changing world, Secret Atlas micro cruises provide an opportunity to witness the Arctic’s raw beauty firsthand visiting remote regions such as Svalbard and Greenland.
Led by expert polar guides and passionate photographers, each journey provides guests with invaluable insights into the crucial role the Arctic plays in our global climate, the challenges it faces, and the importance of conservation efforts. Travelling as a small group, guests can engage in meaningful discussions, discover deeper exploration and return home not just with stunning photographs, but as Arctic Ambassadors.
Guests are not only empowered with knowledge and inspiration on each Secret Atlas expedition but will also travel responsibly with just 12 passengers onboard small, agile vessels. Secret Atlas also ensures it operates as sustainably and responsibly as possible by partnering with initiatives such as 1% For The Planet, donating a minimum of 1% of their yearly revenue directly to vetted and approved environmental organisations.
