Atlas Ocean Voyages has reported that limited availability remains for its Mediterranean Epicurean Expeditions sailing July through Sept. 2026. 

Each Epicurean Expedition also includes a complimentary Atlas Immersive Experience that offer a deep dive into the history, nature, art or cuisine of a destination through an exclusive excursion ashore or a unique event on board.

“Our 2026 Mediterranean Epicurean Expeditions are designed to go beyond traditional cruising by offering deep, authentic connections to the region’s most marquee and boutique ports,” said James Rodriguez, President of Atlas Ocean Voyages, in a press release statement. “With our complimentary Atlas Immersive Experiences, we provide our guests with exclusive, after-hours access and sensory-rich encounters that simply cannot be found elsewhere.”

Atlas Immersive Experiences on 2026 World Traveller sailings include an exclusive after-hours visit to the Ephesus Odeon, available on the Civitavecchia (Rome) to Piraeus (Athens) sailing from July 1 – 10 and the Piraeus (Athens) roundtrip from July 10 -20. Guests will enter the ancient archeological site after the gates have closed to the public, allowing exploration of the Marble Road, the Great Theater and the Library of Celsus without the daytime crowds. The four-hour immersion will include a live performance by a chamber orchestra as well as canapes such as smoked salmon and local cheeses paired with Turkish wines, beer and refreshments.

Guests sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Piraeus (Athens) from July 20-30 and Piraeus (Athens) to Civitavecchia (Rome) from Aug. 27 – Sept. 9 can experience An Evening of Syros Traditions in Ermoupoli. The four-hour immersion begins with a transfer to Hermoupolis Heritage, a restored 19th-century stone landmark in Ermoupoli. The evening features local dancers performing in traditional costumes, as well as a curated buffet of regional finger foods, featuring delicacies such as San Michali cheese croquettes, vegan souvlaki and authentic homemade pies.

Guests sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Dubrovnik on Sept. 9 can experience the Kotor Citadel Concert & Folklore excursion. Beginning with a scenic walk from the port to the hilltop fortress of Kotor Citadel, guests will be welcomed with sparkling wine and canapes as they enjoy a live performance by internationally acclaimed guitarists Darko Nikcevic and Srdjan Bulatovic. Following the concert, dancers in traditional regional dress will perform authentic songs and movements that celebrate the heritage of the region.
